description (LLDP)

Specifies a string that contains the LLDP description.

Syntax

description string

no description

Parameters

string: Characters describing LLDP. The string must be between 1 and 50 ASCII characters in length.

Modes

Protocol LLDP and profile configuration modes

Usage Guidelines

Enter no description to remove the LLDP description.

The LLDP description can also be configured for a specific LLDP profile. When you apply an LLDP profile on an interface using the lldp profile command, it overrides the global configuration. If a profile is not present, then the default global profile is used until you create a valid profile.

Examples

To set the strings describing LLDP:

device(conf-lldp)# description Extreme-LLDP

To set the strings describing LLDP for a specific LLDP profile, test2, enter the following:

device(conf-lldp)# profile test1
device(config-profile-test1)# description test2
