LLDP Commands

  • PDF

Article summary

LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) supports a set of attributes that it uses to discover neighbor devices. These attributes contain type, length, and value descriptions and are referred to as TLVs. LLDP-supported devices can use TLVs to receive and send information to their neighbors.

The switch supports these mandatory basic management TLVs.

  • Port description TLV
  • System name TLV
  • System description
  • System capabilities TLV
  • Management address TLV
  • Port VLAN ID TLV ((IEEE 802.1 organizationally specific TLVs)
  • MAC/PHY configuration/status TLV(IEEE 802.3 organizationally specific TLVs)

LLDP CLI commands are categorized as follows:

Enable and Disable Commands

This section includes LLDP enable and disable commands.

shutdown lldp

Command Objective:
This command shuts down all the ports in the LLDP and releases all the allocated memory.

The no form of the command enables all the ports by allocating the required resources in the LLDP.

Syntax:
shutdown lldp

no shutdown lldp

Mode:
Global Configuration Mode

Default:
LLDP is not shutdown in the system


Note: LLDP cannot be started in the switch if the base bridge Mode is configured as transparent bridging.

Example:

Your Product(config)# shutdown lldp

set lldp

Command Objective:
This command transmits or receives LLDP frames from the switch to its neighbor device.

Syntax:
set lldp {enable | disable}

Parameter Description:

  • enable - Transmits/receives the LLDP packets between the neighbor device and the switch.
  • disable - Does not transmit/receive the LLDP packets between the neighbor device and the switch.

Mode:
Global Configuration Mode

Default:
Disable

Example:

Your Product(config)# set lldp enable

Configuration Commands

This section includes LLDP configuration commands.

lldp transmit-interval

Command Objective:
This command sets the transmission interval in which the switch sends the LLDP frames to the neighbor device. This value ranges from 5 to 32768 seconds.

The no form of the command sets the transmission interval to the default value.

Syntax:
lldp transmit-interval <seconds(5-32768)>

no lldp transmit-interval

Mode:
Global Configuration Mode

Default:
30 seconds


Note: This command executes only if LLDP is started.

Example:

Your Product(config)# lldp transmit-interval 50

lldp holdtime-multiplier

Command Objective:
This command sets the holdtime-multiplier value, which is the amount of time the switch should hold the LLDP. This value ranges from 2 to 10.

The no form of the command sets the multiplier to the default value.


Note: TTL (Time to Live) is a value that tells the receiving agent how long the information contained in the TLV Value field is valid.

TTL = message transmission interval * hold time multiplier.

For Example, if the value of the LLDP transmission interval is 30, and the value of the LLDP hold multiplier is 4, then the value 120 is encoded in the TTL field in the LLDP header.


Syntax:
lldp holdtime-multiplier <value(2-10)>

no lldp holdtime-multiplier

Mode:
Global Configuration Mode

Default:
4


Note: This command executes only if LLDP is started.

Example:

Your Product(config)# lldp holdtime-multiplier 5

    show lldp traffic

    Command Objective:
    This command displays LLDP counters on all interfaces or on a specific interface. This includes the following:

    • Total Frames Received In Error
    • Total Frames Discarded
    • Total TLVS Unrecognized
    • Total TLVs Discarded

    Syntax:
    show lldp traffic [< iftype > < ifnum >[mac-address < mac_addr >]]

    Parameter Description:

    • < iftype > – Displays the LLDP counters for specified type of interface. The interface can be:
      • fastethernet – Officially referred to as 100BASE-T standard. This is a version of LAN standard architecture that supports data transfer up to 100 Megabits per second.
      • gigabitethernet – A version of LAN standard architecture that supports data transfer up to 1 Gigabit per second.

    • < ifnum > – Displays the LLDP counters for specified interface identifier. This is a unique value that represents the specific interface. This value is a combination of slot number and port number separated by a slash, for interface types other than i-lan. For Example: 0/1 represents that the slot number is 0 and port number is 1. Only i-lan or port-channel ID is provided, for interface types i-lan and port-channel. For Example: 1 represents i-lan and port-channel ID.
    • mac-address < mac_addr > - Displays information about neighbors for the specified destination MAC address of the LLDP agent.
