LLDP-MED attributes advertised by the Dell PowerConnect device
24
• The device type (Network Connectivity device or Endpoint (Class 1, 2, or 3))
By default, LLDP-MED information is automatically advertised when LLDP-MED is enabled. To
disable this advertisement, enter a command such as the following.
PowerConnect(config)#no lldp advertise med-capabilities ports e 2/4 to 2/12
NOTE
Disabling the LLDP-MED capabilities TLV disables LLDP-MED.
To re-enable the LLDP-MED Capabilities TLV (and LLDP-MED) after it has been disabled, enter a
command such as the following.
PowerConnect(config)#lldp advertise med-capabilities ports e 2/4 to 2/12
The LLDP-MED capabilities advertisement will appear similar to the following on the remote device,
and in the CLI display output on the Dell PowerConnect device (show lldp local-info).
Syntax: [no] lldp advertise med-capabilities ports ethernet <port-list> | all
For <port-list>, specify the ports in one of the following formats:
• PowerConnect B-Series FCX stackable switches – <stack-unit/slotnum/portnum>
You can list all of the ports individually, use the keyword to to specify ranges of ports, or a
combination of both. To apply the configuration to all ports on the device, use the keyword all
instead of listing the ports individually. Note that using the keyword all may cause undesirable
effects on some ports. For example, if you configure all ports to advertise their VLAN name, and
the configuration includes ports that are not members of any VLAN, the system will warn of the
misconfigurations on non-member VLAN ports. The configuration will be applied to all ports,
however, the ports that are not members of any VLAN will not send VLAN name advertisements.

statistics:
• show lldp – Displays a summary of the LLDP configuration settings.
