To configure LLDP
Before you begin
LLDP is a not a routing protocol, but instead, a neighbor-discovery protocol that allows an NE to advertise its identity and capabilities to other NEs attached to the same physical IEEE 802.1 LAN. As such, it is configured in a different manner than standard routing protocols.
Wavence supports Nearest Bridge LLDP. LLDP timers are not configurable.
LLDP is supported in the SM configuration only. An LLDP link with an SA or Connected node will appear as a link to an unmanaged NE. To avoid this, LLDP Administrative Status should be set to Disabled on SA and Connected NEs.
LLDP is supported on physical Ethernet ports and Ethernet LAG ports.
Note: The prerequisite for LLDP link to be discovered when ports are synchronous, is that the auto negotiation should be true on both end points of LLDP link and speed should be set to 1 Gb/s on both ports.
For more information about LLDP, see the NSP NFM-P Classic Management User Guide.
