Chapter 21 Configuring LLDP and LLDP-MED
Configuring LLDP and LLDP-MED
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable LLDP on an interface when it has been
disabled:
This example shows how to enable LLDP on an interface.
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# lldp transmit
Switch(config-if)# lldp receive
Switch(config-if)# end
Configuring LLDP-MED TLVs
By default, the switch only sends LLDP packets until it receives LLDP-MED packets from the end
device. The device continues to send LLDP-MED packets until it only receives LLDP packets.
By using the lldp interface configuration command, you can configure the interface not to send the TLVs
listed in Table 21-2.
Step 5
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
