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

    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
