Chapter 3: Configuration
• Tx Delay: If some configuration is changed (e.g. the IP address) a new LLDP frame is transmitted, but the time between the LLDP
frames will always be at least the value of Tx Delay seconds. Tx Delay cannot be larger than 1/4 of the Tx Interval value. Valid
values are restricted to one to 8192 seconds.
• Tx Reinit: When a port is disabled, LLDP is disabled or the switch is rebooted, an LLDP shutdown frame is transmitted to the
neighboring units, signaling that the LLDP information isn’t valid anymore. Tx Reinit controls the amount of seconds between
the shutdown frame and a new LLDP initialization. Valid values are restricted to one to 10 seconds.
LLDP Port Configuration
The LLDP port settings relate to the one that is currently selected, as shown in the page header.
• Port: The switch port number of the logical LLDP port.
• Mode: Select LLDP mode.
- Rx only: The switch will not send out LLDP information, but LLDP information from neighbor units is analyzed.
- Tx only: The switch will drop LLDP information received from neighbors, but will send out LLDP information.
- Disabled: The switch will not send out LLDP information, and will drop LLDP information received from neighbors.
- Enabled: The switch will send out LLDP information, and will analyze LLDP information received from neighbors.
• CDP Aware:
Select CDP awareness.
- The CDP operation is restricted to decoding incoming CDP frames (The switch doesn’t transmit CDP frames). CDP frames are
only decoded if LLDP on the port is enabled.
- Only CDP TLVs that can be mapped to a corresponding field in the LLDP neighbors’ table are decoded. All other TLVs are
discarded. (Unrecognized CDP TLVs and discarded CDP frames are not shown in the LLDP statistics.). CDP TLVs are mapped
onto LLDP neighbors’ table as shown below.
- CDP TLV "Device ID" is mapped to the LLDP “Chassis ID“ field.
- CDP TLV “Address“ is mapped to the LLDP “Management Address“ field. The CDP address TLV can contain multiple
addresses, but only the first address is shown in the LLDP neighbors’ table.
- CDP TLV “Port ID“ is mapped to the LLDP “Port ID“ field.
- CDP TLV “Version and Platform“ is mapped to the LLDP “System Description“ field.
- Both the CDP and LLDP support “system capabilities,“ but the CDP capabilities cover capabilities that are not part of the LLDP.
These capabilities are shown as “others“ in the LLDP neighbors’ table.
- If all ports have CDP awareness disabled the switch forwards CDP frames received from neighbor devices. If at least one port
has CDP awareness enabled, all CDP frames are terminated by the switch.
NOTE: When CDP awareness on a port is disabled, CDP information isn’t removed until the hold time is exceeded.
• Port Descr: Optional TLV: When checked the “port description“ is included in LLDP information.
• Sys Name: Optional TLV: When checked the “system name“ is included in LLDP information.
• Sys Descr: Optional TLV: When checked the “system description“ is included in LLDP information.
• Sys Capa: Optional TLV: When checked the “system capability“ is included in LLDP information.
• Mgmt Addr: Optional TLV: When checked the “management address“ is included in LLDP information.
