Configuring for Network Management Applications

LLDP (Link-Layer Discovery Protocol)

■ELIN (Emergency Location Identification Number): an emergency number typically assigned to MLTS (Multiline Telephone System Opera­ tors) in North America

■coordinate-based location: attitude, longitude, and altitude informa­ tion (Requires configuration via an SNMP application.)

Syntax: [ no ] lldp config < port-list> medPortLocation < Address-Type>

Configures location or emergency call data the switch advertises per port in the location_id TLV. This TLV is for use by LLDP­ MED endpoints employing location-based applications.

Note: The switch allows one medPortLocation entry per port (without regard to type). Configuring a new medPortLocation entry of any type on a port replaces any previously configured entry on that port.

civic-addr < COUNTRY-STR > < WHAT > < CA-TYPE > < CA-VALUE > . . .

[< CA-TYPE > < CA-VALUE >] . . . [< CA-TYPE > < CA-VALUE >]

This command enables configuration of a physical address on a switch port, and allows up to 75 characters of address information.

COUNTRY-STR:A two-character country code, as defined by ISO 3166. Some examples include FR (France), DE (Germany), and IN (India). This field is required in a civic-addrcommand. (For a complete list of country codes, visit www.iso.org on the world wide web.)

WHAT: A single-digit number specifying the type of device to which the location data applies:

0:Location of DHCP server

1:Location of switch

2:Location of LLDP-MED endpoint (recommended application)

This field is required in a civic-addrcommand. —Continued—
