Configures the LLDP port to advertise or not advertise MED location information. You configure up to 3 different location identifiers.
| all | Specifies all ports on the switch. |
| port_list | Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports. |
| advertise | Specifies to send the information to neighbors. |
| no-advertise | Specifies to not send the information to neighbors. |
| coordinate-based | Specifies using the coordinate-based location identifier. This value is exactly 16 bytes long; see RFC 3825 for details. |
| hex_value | Enter a hexadecimal value with
each byte separated by a colon. Or, you can obtain this value from a
network management application. NOTE: This parameter is not used when the no-advertise parameter is configured. |
| civic-based | Specifies using the civic-based location identifier. This value must have a minimum length of 6 bytes; see RFC3825 for details. |
| ecs-elin | Specifies using the ecs location identifier. (Emergency Call Service, as defined in the TIA-TSB-146.) |
| elin | Enter a numerical string; the
range is 10 to 25 characters. Or, you can obtain this value from a
network management application. (See the TIA-TSB-146 standard for a
definition of these numbers; also, the network management
application must be able to handle the LLDP MED MIB.) NOTE: This parameter is not used when the no-advertise parameter is configured. |
No advertise.
You might need to use a specific format for your specific VoIP implementation; see the VoIP manufacturer‘s manual for details.
You must configure the LLDP MED capabilities TLV before configuring this TLV. Configure the LLDP MED capabilities TLV using the configure lldp ports [all | port_list] [advertise | no-advertise] vendor-specific med capabilities command.
As with all the LLDP MED TLVs, the switch sends this TLV only after it detects a MED-capable device on the port. The switch does not automatically send this TLV after it is enabled; the switch must first detect a MED-capable device on the port.
The following command configures all ports to advertise MED location information to neighbors using the ECS format:
configure lldp ports all advertise vendor-specific med location-identification ecs-elin 423233455676
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 11.5.
This command is available on ExtremeSwitching X435, X440-G2, X450-G2, X460-G2, X465, X590, X620, and X695 series switches.
