Chapter 28 Configuring LLDP and LLDP-MED

Configuring LLDP and LLDP-MED

Note LLDP and LLDP-MED cannot operate simultaneously in a network. By default, a network device sends only LLDP packets until it receives LLDP-MED packets from an endpoint device. The network device then sends out LLDP-MED packets until it receives LLDP-only packets.

Configuring LLDP and LLDP-MED

This section contains this configuration information:

Configuring LLDP Characteristics

You can configure the frequency of LLDP updates, the amount of time to hold the information before discarding it, and the initialization delay time. You can also select the LLDP and LLDP-MED TLVs to be sent and received.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure these characteristics:

Note Steps 2 through 5 are optional and can be performed in any order.
