Description
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) allows network devices to advertise their identity, capabilities, and to receive same information from neighbors on an local area network. Information can be requested from the device by services via SNMP.
Nodes may share information about:
- network device name;
- network device description;
- system capabilities (switching, routing, etc.);
- port name;
- port description;
- MTU;
- management IP address;
- the last update time and the time during which the information will be saved (TTL).
Syntax:
usage: lldp [IFNAME] { disable | { enable [ tx | rx | txrx ] }} lldp [IFNAME] mgmtip IP [mgmtvid VID] lldp [IFNAME] [-]vlan VID NAME lldp [IFNAME] chassis serial | [mac] lldp [IFNAME] report | local lldp forward { disable | enable } lldp tagged { disable | enable } lldp reset
Parameters
Parameters | Description |
---|---|
[IFNAME] | Name of the network interface to which parameters are referred. |
{ disable | { enable [ tx | rx | txrx ] }} | Allows to control the LLDP messages exchange, by default this function is enabled for both incoming and outgoing messages.
|
mgmtip IP [mgmtvid VID] | Set the management IP address.
|
[-]vlan VID NAME | Set the VLAN name. Some systems are operating with VLAN names to automatically configure their services. |
lldp [IFNAME] chassis serial | [mac] | Allows to change value which is displayed in the "ChassisID" field to the device serial number. By default MAC address is displayed. |
report | local |
|
forward { disable | enable } | Enables/disables packet switching to other ports.The standard protocol LLDP does not allow such an opportunity. By default, this function is disabled. |
lldp tagged { disable | enable } | Enables/disables tagged packets processing. By default, this function is disabled. |
lldp reset | Removes accumulated statistics. |
Examples
Set the management IP address "192.168.103.35" on the network interface "eth0". lldp eth0 mgmtip 192.168.103.35 Device information will appear while using command "lldp eth0 local": LLDP Local info on eth0 +---------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+ | ChassisID: | IW-173332 (local) | | SysName: | Lmn.6 | | SysDescr: | Infinet Wireless R5000 WANFleX H11S01-MINTv1.90.29 | | Caps: | Repeater*, Bridge*, Router* | | PortID: | 00:04:35:02:A5:14 (mac) | | PortDescr: | eth0, Lmn.6 | | MFS: | 1728 bytes | | MgmtIP: | 192.168.103.35 | +---------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+ |
