Configuring LLDP profiles

SLX 9240 supports 128 active profiles and SLX 9140 supports 72 active profiles. When you configure a profile, its default parameters are from the global LLDP configuration.

1. In privileged EXEC mode, access global configuration mode.
   

   device# configure terminal

2. Enter LLDP configuration mode.
   

   device(config)# protocol lldp

3. Configure the profile name.
   

   device(conf-lldp)# profile UK_LLDP_IT

4. Specify a description for the profile.
   

   device(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)#description standard_profile_by_Jane

5. Configure the transmission frequency of LLDP updates.
   

   device(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)# hello 10

6. Configure the hold time for receiving devices.
   

   device(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)# multiplier 2

7. Advertise the optional LLDP TLVs.
   

   device(conf-lldp)# advertise optional-tlv system-name

8. Advertise the LLDP organizationally-specific TLVs.
   

   device(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)# advertise advertise dot1-tlv
   

   

   Note

   Extreme does not recommend advertising dot1.tlv and dot3.tlv LLDPs if your network contains CNAs from non-Extreme vendors. Functionality problems can occur.
9. Return to privileged EXEC mode.
   

   device(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)# end

10. Verify the configuration.
    

    device# show running-config protocol lldp profile
     profile UK_LLDP_IT
      hello 10
      multiplier 2
      advertise dot1-tlv
      advertise option-tlv system-name
      description standard_profile_by_Jane

Example

The following configuration is an example of the previous steps.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# protocol lldp
device(conf-lldp)# profile UK_LLDP_IT
device(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)# description standard_profile_by_Jane
device(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)# hello 10
device(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)# multiplier 2  
device(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)# advertise option-tlv system-name
device(conf-lldp-profile-UK_LLDP_IT)# advertise advertise dot1-tlv
