Configuring for Network Management Applications

LLDP (Link-Layer Discovery Protocol)

For example, if port 3 belongs to a subnetted VLAN that includes an IP address of 10.10.10.100 and you wanted port 3 to use this secondary address in LLDP advertisements, you would need to execute the following command:

ProCurve(config)# lldp config 3 ipAddrEnable 10.10.10.100

Optional Data. You can configure an individual port or group of ports to exclude one or more of these data types from outbound LLDP advertisements. Note that optional data types, when enabled, are populated with data internal to the switch; that is, you cannot use LLDP commands to configure their actual content.
