To disable LLDP, use the no lldp run global configuration command. To disable LLDP on an interface,
use the no lldp transmit and the no lldp receive interface configuration commands.
This example shows how to globally enable LLDP.
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# lldp run
Switch(config)# end
This example shows how to enable LLDP on an interface.
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# lldp transmit
Switch(config-if)# lldp receive
Switch(config-if)# end
Configuring LLDP Characteristics
