Enabling and Disabling 802.3 TLV
The lldp tlv dot3 command is used to control per port 802.3 TLVs transmission in the LLDPDUs on a
specific port, a slot, or all ports on a switch. When enabled, the LLDPDU administrative status must be in
the transmit state.
To enable the 802.3 TLV LLDPDU transmission on a switch, enter the lldp tlv dot3 command, as shown:
-> lldp chassis tlv dot3 mac-phy enable
To enable the 802.3 TLV on port 4 of slot 2, enter the following command at the CLI prompt:
-> lldp 2/4 tlv dot3 mac-phy enable
To disable the 802.3 TLV on a switch, enter the lldp tlv dot3 command, as shown:
-> lldp chassis tlv dot3 mac-phy disable
To disable 802.3 TLV on port 5 of slot 3, enter the following command at the CLI prompt:
-> lldp 3/5 tlv dot3 mac-phy disable
Enabling and Disabling MED TLV
The lldp tlv med command is used to control per port LLDP Media End Device (MED) TLVs transmis-
sion in the LLDPDUs on a specific port, a slot, or all ports on a switch. When enabled, the LLDPDU
administrative status must be in the transmit state.
To enable the LLDP-MED TLV LLDPDU transmission on a switch, enter the lldp tlv med command, as
shown:
-> lldp chassis tlv med power enable
To enable the MED TLV on port 4 of slot 4, enter the following command at the CLI prompt:
-> lldp 4/4 tlv med capability enable
To disable the MED TLV on a switch, enter the lldp tlv med command, as shown:
-> lldp chassis tlv med power disable
To disable MED TLV on port 3 of slot 4, enter the following command at the CLI prompt:
-> lldp 4/3 tlv med capability disable
Setting the Transmit Interval
To set the transmit time interval for LLDPDUs, enter the lldp transmit interval command. For example,
to set the transmit time interval as 40 seconds, enter:
-> lldp transmit interval 40
