LLDP Configuration Workflow 
Following are examples of actions that can be performed with the LLDP feature 
and in a suggested order. You can refer to the LLDP/CDP section for additional 
guidelines on LLDP configuration. LLDP configuration pages are accessible under 
the Administration > Discovery LLDP menu.
1. Enter LLDP global parameters, such as the time interval for sending LLDP 
updates using the 
LLDP Properties 
page.
2. Configure LLDP per port by using the 
Port Settings 
page On this page, 
interfaces can be configured to receive/transmit LLDP PDUs, send SNMP 
notifications, specify which TLVs to advertise, and advertise the switch's 
management address.
3. Create LLDP MED network policies by using the 
LLDP MED Network Policy 
page.
4. Associate LLDP MED network policies and the optional LLDP-MED TLVs to the 
desired interfaces by using the 
LLDP MED Port Settings 
page.
5. If Auto Smartport is to detect the capabilities of LLDP devices, enable LLDP in 
the Smartport Properties page.
6. Display overloading information by using the 
LLDP Overloading 
page.
