Port Configuration Chapter 5 LLDP Function Operation Configuration5-2trace the change and condition of topology, but most of them can reach layer-three andclassify the devices into all IP subnets at best. This kind of data are very primitive, onlyreferring to basic events like the adding and removing of relative devices instead of detailsabout where and how these devices operate with the network.Layer 2 discovery covers information like which devices have which ports, whichswitches connect to other devices and so on, it can also display the routs between clients,switches, routers, application servers and network servers. Such details will be verymeaningful for schedule and investigate the source of network failure.LLDP will be a very useful management tool, providing accurate information aboutnetwork mirroring, flow data and searching network problems.5.2 LLDP Function Configuration Task Sequence1. Globally enable LLDP function2. Configure the port-based LLDP function switch3. Configure the operating state of port LLDP4. Configure the intervals of LLDP updating messages5. Configure the aging time multiplier of LLDP messages6. Configure the sending delay of updating messages7. Configure the intervals of sending Trap messages8. Configure to enable the Trap function of the port9. Configure the optional information-sending attribute of the port10. Configure the size of space to store Remote Table of the port11. Configure the type of operation when the Remote Table of the port is full12. Display and debug the relative information of LLDP1.
