LLDP configuration and management 8 Configuring LLDP global command options After entering the protocol lldp command from global configuration mode, you are in LLDP configuration mode which is designated with the switch(conf-lldp)# prompt. Using the keywords in this mode, you can set non-default parameter values that apply globally to all interfaces. Specifying a system name for the Dell FCoE hardware The global system name for LLDP is useful for differentiating between switches. By default, the "host-name" from the chassis/entity MIB is used. By specifying a descriptive system name, you will find it easier to configure the switch for LLDP. To specify a global system name for the Dell FCoE hardware, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode. 1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode. 2.
