An Aggregator auto-configures to support the link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) for the auto-discovery of network devices. You can use CLI commands to display acquired LLDP information, clear LLDP counters, and debug LACP operation. Configure LLDP Configuring LLDP is a two-step process. 1. Enable LLDP globally. 2. Advertise TLVs out of an interface. Related Configuration Tasks • Viewing the LLDP Configuration • Viewing Information Advertised by Adjacent LLDP Agents • Configuring LLDPDU Intervals • Configuring a Time to Live • Debugging LLDP Important Points to Remember • LLDP is enabled by default. • Dell Networking systems support up to eight neighbors per interface. • Dell Networking systems support 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. • INTERFACE level configurations override all CONFIGURATION level configurations. • LLDP is not hitless. CONFIGURATION versus INTERFACE Configurations All LLDP configuration commands are available in PROTOCOL LLDP mode, which is a sub-mode of the CONFIGURATION mode and INTERFACE mode. • Configurations made at the CONFIGURATION level are global; that is, they affect all interfaces on the system. • Configurations made at the INTERFACE level affect only the specific interface; they override CONFIGURATION level configurations.
