Unit). Inclusion of the optional TLVs in the management set is configurable by
the administrator; by default they are not included. The transmit function will
extract the local system information and build the LLDPDU based on the
specified configuration for the port. In addition, the administrator has control
over timing parameters affecting the TTL of LLDPDUs and the interval in which
they are transmitted.
LLDP receive The receive function accepts incoming LLDPDU frames and stores information
about the remote stations. Both local and remote data can be displayed by the
CLI, and it can be retrieved by using SNMP, as defined in the LLDP MIB
definitions. LLDP maintains one remote entry per physical network connection.
LLDP parameters
and defaults
LLDP manages a number of statistical parameters that represent the operation of
each transmit and receive function on a per-port basis. These can be displayed by
the CLI and retrieved by using SNMP, as defined in the MIB definitions.
The following table summarizes the parameters and information that can be
displayed, depending on which LLDP command you use:
Name Description Range Default
Receive Admin Mode Enables/disables the receive
function.
Enabled/Disabled Disabled
