LLDP configuration guidelines

When you configure LLDP, follow these guidelines:

To make LLDP take effect on a port, enable LLDP both globally and on the port.

To advertise LLDP-MED TLVs other than the LLDP-MED capabilities TLV, include the LLDP-MED capabilities TLV.

To remove the LLDP-MED capabilities TLV, remove all other LLDP-MED TLVs.

To remove the MAC/PHY configuration TLV, remove the LLDP-MED capabilities set TLV first.

When the advertising of LLDP-MED capabilities TLV and MAC/PHY configuration/status TLV is disabled, if the LLDP-MED capabilities set TLV is included, the MAC/PHY configuration/status TLV is included automatically.

When you configure LLDP settings for ports in batch, if you do not set the TLVs, each port uses its own TLV settings.
