TABLE 7-10 Interface Protocol Configuration Parameters for LLDPDU
Parameter Range Description
MODE Controls the transmission or reception of LLDP packets. Options
are below.
Note: In order for these option values (except OFF) to have any
affect for a network port the LLDP protocol functionality must be
enabled on a system-wide basis.
TX Allows the transmission of LLDP messages to the neighboring NE
over the local network port. Any received LLDP messages from
the neighboring NE over this network port is dropped. Use of this
setting prevents an NE from discovering its neighbors connected
to this network port
RX Allows the receipt of LLDP messages from neighboring NEs con-
nected to this network port. LLDP messages are not transmitted
to neighboring NEs connected to this network port. Use of this
setting prevents a neighboring NE connected to this network port
from discovering this NE.
BOTH Allows the transmission and reception of LLDP messages to and
from the neighboring NE connected to this network port. If the
same setting is configured on either end of the link spanning the
network ports, then it allows both the NEs to discover each other.
OFF Disallows the transmission and reception of LLDP messages to and
from the neighboring NE connected to this network port. Use of
this setting prevents this NE from discovering the neighboring NE
connected to this network port and also prevents the neighboring
NE from discovering this NE.
NOTIFY ON
OFF
Controls whether, when there is a change to the network element
MIB, a trap is produced, so an element manager such as NMS can
use a protocol such as SNMP to be notified of the change. Note
that this setting does not affect the MODE.
