You can configure each port to transmit Link Layer Discovery Protocol messages, receive LLDP messages, or both.
Note
When both IEEE 802.1X and LLDP are enabled on the same port, LLDP packets are not sent until one or more clients authenticate a port.
Also, LLDP MED TLVs are advertised only after an LLDP MED TLV is received on a port that is configured for LLDP MED. (See LLDP MED Optional TLVs.)
The source information for TLVs is obtained from memory objects such as standard MIBs or from system management information. If the TLV source information changes at any time, the LLDP agent is notified. The agent then sends an update with the new values, which is referred to as a triggered update. If the information for multiple elements changes in a short period, the changes are bundled together and sent as a single update to reduce network load.
