LLDP Operation On an Aggregator, LLDP operates as follows: • LLDP is enabled by default. • LLDPDUs are transmitted and received by default. LLDPDUs are transmitted periodically. The default interval is 30 seconds. • LLDPDU information received from a neighbor expires after the default Time to Live (TTL) value: 120 seconds. • FTOS supports up to eight neighbors per interface. • FTOS supports a maximum of 8000 total neighbors per system. If the number of interfaces multiplied by eight exceeds the maximum, the system does not configure more than 8000. • LLDP is not hitless. Viewing the LLDP Configuration To display the LLDP configuration, use the show config command in either CONFIGURATION or INTERFACE mode (Figure 14-7) and (Figure 14-8). Figure 14-7.

Debugging Aggregator Operation	258
All interfaces on the Aggregator are operationally down	258
Symptom: All Aggregator interfaces are down.	258
Resolution: Ensure that port channel 128 is up and that the Aggregator-facing port channel on the top-of-rack switch is correctly configured.	258
Steps to Take:	258
Broadcast, unknown multicast, and DLF packets are switched at a very low rate	259
Symptom: Broadcast, unknown multicast, and DLF packets are switched at a very low rate.	259
Resolution: Disable broadcast storm control globally on the Aggregator.	259
Steps to Take:	259
Flooded packets on all VLANs are received on a server	260
Symptom: All packets flooded on all VLANs on an Aggregator are received on a server, even if the server is configured as a member of only a subset of VLANs. This behavior happens because all Aggregator ports are, by default, members of all (4094) VLANs.	260
Resolution: Configure a port that is connected to the server with restricted VLAN membership.	260
Steps to Take:	260
Auto-configured VLANs do not exist on a stacked Aggregator	261
Symptom: When an Aggregator is configured and used in a stack, traffic does not flow and the VLAN auto-configuration on all ports is lost. This behavior happens because an Aggregator in stacking mode does not support auto-configured VLANs. Only VLANs...	261
Resolution: You must manually configure VLAN membership on each stack-unit port.	261
