no profile
NAME
command deletes the
entire profile.
To configure LLDP profiles, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode.
1.
Enter the
configure terminal
command to enter global configuration mode.
2.
Enter LLDP configuration mode.
switch(config)#
protocol lldp
3.
Configure the profile name.
Example of creating the unique profile name of “UK_LDP_IT”.
switch(conf-lldp)#
profile UK_LLDP_IT
4.
Specify a description for the profile.
Example description for the LLDP profile.
switch(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)#
description standard_profile_by_Jane
5.
Enable the transmitting and receiving of LLDP frames.
switch(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)#
mode tx rx
6.
Configure the transmission frequency of LLDP updates.
switch(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)#
hello 10
7.
Configure the hold time for receiving devices.
switch(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)#
multiplier 2
8.
Advertise the optional LLDP TLVs.
Example of advertising all of the LLDP TLVs.
switch(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)#
advertise optional-tlv
[management-address | port-description | system-capabilities |
system-description | system-name]
9.
Advertise the LLDP DCBX-related TLVs.
switch(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)#
advertise dot1-tlv
switch(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)#
advertise dot3-tlv
switch(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)#
advertise advertise dcbx-tlv
switch(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)#
advertise dcbx-fcoe-logical-link-tlv
switch(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)#
advertise dcbx-fcoe-app-tlv
NOTE
Brocade recommends against advertising dot1.tlv and dot3.tlv LLDPs if your network contains
CNAs from non-Brocade vendors,. This configuration may cause functionality problems.
10.
Enter the
copy
command to save the
running-config
file to the
startup-config
file.
switch(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)#
exit
switch(conf-lldp)#
exit
switch#
copy running-config startup-config
