Configure LLDP
Configuring LLDP is a two-step process.
1. Enable LLDP globally.
2. Advertise TLVs out of an interface.
Related Configuration Tasks
•Viewing the LLDP Configuration
•Viewing Information Advertised by Adjacent LLDP Agents
•Configuring LLDPDU Intervals
•Configuring Transmit and Receive Mode
•Configuring a Time to Live
•Debugging LLDP
Important Points to Remember
• LLDP is enabled by default.
• Dell Networking systems support up to eight neighbors per interface.
• Dell Networking systems support a maximum of 8000 total neighbors per system. If the number of
interfaces multiplied by eight exceeds the maximum, the system does not configure more than 8000.
• INTERFACE level configurations override all CONFIGURATION level configurations.
• LLDP is not hitless.

LLDP Compatibility

• Spanning tree and force10 ring protocol “blocked” ports allow LLDPDUs.
CONFIGURATION versus INTERFACE Configurations
All LLDP configuration commands are available in PROTOCOL LLDP mode, which is a sub-mode of the
CONFIGURATION mode and INTERFACE mode.
• Configurations made at the CONFIGURATION level are global; that is, they affect all interfaces on the
system.
• Configurations made at the INTERFACE level affect only the specific interface; they override
CONFIGURATION level configurations.
