Enhancements in Release F.05.05 through F.05.60

Configuring Per-Port LLDP Transmit/Receive

This command controls LLDP transmit/receive traffic on active ports.

Syntax lldp admin-status < port-list> < enable disable >

enable: With LLDP enabled on the switch in the default LLDP configuration, each port is configured to transmit/receive LLDP packets. This option lets you enable the specified port(s) to transmit/receive LLDP packets. (For versions F.05.59 and earlier, inbound LLDP packets from neighbor devices are not supported on 2500 series switches.)

disable: Disable LLDP packet transmit/receive on the specified port(s).

For example, to disable LLDP on port 1, use the command:

ProCurve(config)# lldp admin-status 1 disable

Disable Auto-MDIX

The Auto-MDIX feature allows a user to connect 10/100 switch ports to either MDI or MDI-X devices using a straight-through cable. In some situations it is desirable to disable this feature. Beginning with release F.05.24 there is a global command, no auto-mdix, that disables Auto-MDIX for all ports that are in auto-negotiation mode.

Restrictions:

works only on copper ports

requires the port be brought down to change to/from Auto-MDIX

applies globally to all ports

with Auto-MDIX disabled, ports set to auto-negotiate operate in MDI-X mode
