Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) Commands | 1578Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)CommandsThe IEEE 802.1AB standard defines the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP). LLDP support is newin SFTOS 2.5.1.The commands in this chapter are:• To clear LLDP information:— clear lldp neighbors on page 159— clear lldp counters on page 159• To configure LLDP globally (on all ports):— lldp mode (global) on page 160• To configure LLDP on a single port:— lldp mode (interface) on page 161 (timers not supported at interfacelevel)— lldp notification on page 162— lldp transmit-mgmt on page 163— lldp transmit-tlv on page 163• To change default timers (all global):— lldp hello on page 160— lldp multiplier on page 161— lldp notification-interval on page 162— lldp timers-reinit on page 163• To display LLDP information:— show lldp interface on page 164— show lldp local-device on page 165— show lldp neighbors on page 166— show lldp remote-device on page 167LLDP OverviewLLDP allows a switch residing on an 802.1Q VLAN to advertise connectivity, physical description,management information, and major capabilities. The TLV (Type/Length/Value) information distributedvia this protocol is stored by its recipients in a standard Management Information Base (MIB),facilitating multi-vendor interoperability and use of standard management tools to discover and makeavailable physical topology information for network management.
