configure lldp ports vendor-specific med location-identification

configure lldp ports [all | port_list] [advertise | no-advertise] vendor-specific med location-identification [coordinate-based hex_value | civic-based hex_value | ecs-elin elin]

Description

Configures the LLDP port to advertise or not advertise MED location information. You configure up to 3 different location identifiers.

Syntax Description

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.

Default

No advertise.

Usage Guidelines

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.

Example

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

History
