Click the Apply button. The updated configuration is sent to the switch. Configuration changes take effect immediately. Configure LLDP The IEEE 802.1AB-defined standard, Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), allows stations on an 802 LAN to advertise major capabilities and physical descriptions. This information is viewed by a network manager to identify system topology and detect bad configurations on the LAN. The following sections describe how you can configure LLDP: • Configure LLDP Global Settings on page 89 • Configure LLDP Port Settings on page 90 • LLDP-MED Network Policy on page 91 • LLDP-MED Port Settings on page 93 • Local Information on page 94 • Neighbors Information on page 96 LLDP is a one-way protocol without any request/response sequences. Information is advertised by stations implementing the transmit function, and is received and processed by stations implementing the receive function. The transmit and receive functions can be enabled or disabled separately per port. By default, both transmit and receive are disabled on all ports. The application is responsible for starting each transmit and receive state machine appropriately, based on the configured status and operational state of the port. The Link Layer Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED) is an enhancement to LLDP with the following features: • Autodiscovery of LAN policies (such as VLAN, Layer 2 priority, and DiffServ settings), enabling plug and play networking. • Device location discovery for creation of location databases. • Extended and automated power management of Power over Ethernet endpoints. • Inventory management, enabling network administrators to track their network devices and determine their characteristics (manufacturer, software and hardware versions, serial/asset number).
