Configuring LLDP interface-level command options
Only one LLDP profile can be assigned to an interface. If you do not use the lldp profile option at the
interface level, the global configuration is used on the interface. If there are no global configuration
values defined, the global default values are used.
To configure LLDP interface-level command options, perform the following steps from Privileged
EXEC mode.
1. Enter the interface command to specify the CEE interface type and slot/port number.
switch(config)#interface intengigabitethernet 0/10
