Quick Steps for Configuring 802.1AB
1 To enable the transmission and the reception of LLDPUs on a port, use the lldp lldpdu command. For
example:
-> lldp 2/47 lldpdu tx-and-rx
2 To control per port notification status about the remote device change on a port, use the lldp notifica-
tion command. For example:
-> lldp 2/47 notification enable
3 To control per port management TLV to be incorporated in the LLDPDUs, use the lldp tlv manage-
ment command. For example:
-> lldp 2/47 tlv management port-description enable
4 Set the transmit time interval for LLDPDUs. To set the timer for a 50 second delay, use the lldp trans-
mit interval command. For example:
-> lldp transmit interval 50
5 Set the minimum time interval between successive LDPDUs. To set the interval for a 20 second delay,
use the lldp transmit delay command. For example:
-> lldp transmit delay 20
Note. Optional. Verify the LLDP per port statistics by entering the show lldp statistics command. For
example:
-> show lldp statistics
----------+--------------------------------------+---------------------+----------
| LLDPDU | TLV | Device
Slot/Port| Tx Rx Errors Discards | Unknown Discards | Ageouts
----------+--------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+-----
1/23 52 0 0 0 0 0 0
2/47 50 50 0 0 0 0 0
2/48 50 50 0 0 0 0 0
To verify the remote system information, use the show lldp remote-system command. For example:
-> show lldp remote-system
