Configure LLDP and CDP

To enable LLDP/CDP for a port, ensure that LLDP/CDP is enabled in both the policy level and the port level configuration.

Extreme Networks devices can advertise LLDP data and receive, cache, and display both LLDP and CDP data. However, they do not advertise CDP data. You can use LLDP and CDP data to help debug network issues. For example, the CDP data can be used when debugging VLAN issues on Cisco switches.

Use this task to configure a new LLDP/CDP object.

  1. Navigate to Configure > Common Objects > Network > LLDP/CDP.
  2. Select an existing LLDP/CDP object, and then select Edit, or select Add.
  3. Configure the settings.
    See LLDP and CDP Settings.
  4. Select SAVE.
