Remote Management Address. The switch always includes an IP address
in its LLDP advertisements. This can be either an address selected by a default
process, or an address configured for inclusion in advertisements. Refer to “IP
Address Advertisements” on page 13-35.
Debug Logging. You can enable LLDP debug logging to a configured debug
destination (Syslog server and/or a terminal device) by executing the debug
lldp command. (For more on Debug and Syslog, see “Debug and Syslog
Operation” on page C-25.) Note that the switch’s Event Log does not record
usual LLDP update messages.
