Configuring LLDP
24
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.
System capabilities
The system capabilities TLV identifies the primary functions of the device and indicates whether
these primary functions are enabled. The primary functions can be one or more of the following
(more than one for example, if the device is both a bridge and a router):
Repeater
Bridge
WLAN access point
Router
Telephone
DOCSIS cable device
Station only (devices that implement end station capability)
Other
System capabilities for Dell PowerConnect devices are based on the type of software image in use
(e.g., Layer 2 switch or Layer 3 router). The enabled capabilities will be the same as the available
capabilities, except that when using a router image (base or full Layer 3), if the global route-only
feature is turned on, the bridge capability will not be included, since no bridging takes place.
By default, the system capabilities are automatically advertised when LLDP is enabled on a global
basis. To disable this advertisement, enter a command such as the following.
PowerConnect(config)#no lldp advertise system-capabilities ports e 2/4 to 2/12
The system capabilities 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).
System capabilities : bridge
Enabled capabilities: bridge
Syntax: [no] lldp advertise system-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>
