Link Layer Discovery Protocol The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) feature allows individual interfaces on the switch to advertise major capabilities and physical descriptions. Network managers can view this information and identify system topology and detect bad configurations on the LAN. LLDP has separately configurable transmit and receive functions. Interfaces can transmit and receive LLDP information. CLI Examples Example #1: Set Global LLDP Parameters Use the following sequence to specify switch-wide notification interval and timers for all LLDP interfaces. console(config)#lldp ? notification-interval send remote data Configure minimum interval to change notifications. timers timer values. Configure the LLDP global console(config)#lldp notification-interval 1000 console(config)#lldp timers hold 8 reinit 5 console(config)#exit Example #2: Set Interface LLDP Parameters The following commands configure the Ethernet interface 1/g10 to transmit and receive LLDP information. console#configure console(config)#interface ethernet 1/g10 console(config-if-1/g10)#lldp receive console(config-if-1/g10)#lldp transmit console(config-if-1/g10)#lldp transmit-mgmt console(config-if-1/g10)#exit console(config)#exit 52 Switching Configuration

Switching Configuration
Link Layer Discovery Protocol
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) feature allows individual interfaces on the switch to advertise
major capabilities and physical descriptions. Network managers can view this information and identify
system topology and detect bad configurations on the LAN.
LLDP has separately configurable transmit and receive functions. Interfaces can transmit and receive
LLDP information.
CLI Examples
Example #1: Set Global LLDP Parameters
Use the following sequence to specify switch-wide notification interval and timers for all LLDP
interfaces.
console(config)#lldp ?
notification-interval
Configure minimum interval to
send remote data
change notifications.
timers
Configure the LLDP global
timer values.
console(config)#lldp notification-interval 1000
console(config)#lldp timers hold 8 reinit 5
console(config)#exit
Example #2: Set Interface LLDP Parameters
The following commands configure the Ethernet interface 1/g10 to transmit and receive LLDP
information.
console#configure
console(config)#interface ethernet 1/g10
console(config-if-1/g10)#lldp receive
console(config-if-1/g10)#lldp transmit
console(config-if-1/g10)#lldp transmit-mgmt
console(config-if-1/g10)#exit
console(config)#exit
