Table 1. Viewable Data Available for LLDP Advertisements

Data Type

Description

 

 

Chassis ID

Uses base MAC address of the switch.

 

 

Port Id

Uses port number of the physical port.

 

 

System Description

Includes switch model name and running software version, and ROM version.

 

 

System Name

Uses the switch’s assigned name.

 

 

Remote Management Address

 

Type

Shows the network address type.

Address

The switch IP address. This can be either an address selected by a default process,

 

or an address configured for inclusion in advertisements.

 

(Address configuration not supported on 2500).

 

 

Port Description

Uses the physical port identifier.

 

 

System capabilities supported

Identifies the switch’s primary capabilities (bridge, router).

 

 

System cpabilities enabled

Identifies the primary switch functions that are enabled, such as routing.

 

 

NOTES:

 

The Packet Time-to-Live (TTL) value is not viewable, but is included in LLDP data packets.

TTL of an advertised frame is 120 seconds.

The data used for LLDP advertisement is captured internally by the switch. For more on these data types, refer to the IEEE 802.1AB-2005 Standard.

Note

Selected LLDP information (such as system name, port description, port type, chassis type) received by a Series 2500 switch from a remote neighbor is not viewable.

LLDP Standards Compatibility

The LLDP features for the Series 2500 switches are compatible with the following LLDP-related standards:

IEEE 802.1AB-2005 for LLDP packets send. LLDP reception, standard LLDP MIBs, and LLDP state machine is not supported

RFC 2922 (PTOPO, or Physical Topology MIB)RFC 2737 (Entity MIB)RFC 2863 (Interfaces MIB)
