Chapter 26 Configuring LLDP, LLDP-MED, and Wired Location Service
Configuring LLDP, LLDP-MED, and Wired Location Service
Use the no form of each of the LLDP commands to return to the default setting.
This example shows how to configure LLDP characteristics.
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# lldp holdtime 120
Switch(config)# lldp reinit 2
Switch(config)# lldp timer 30
Switch(config)# end
Configuring LLDP-MED TLVs
By default, the switch only sends LLDP packets until it receives LLDP-MED packets from the end
device. It then sends LLDP packets with MED TLVs, as well. When the LLDP-MED entry has been aged
out, it again only sends LLDP packets.
By using the lldp interface configuration command, you can configure the interface not to send th e TLVs
listed in Table 26-2 .
