How to Enable LLDP Globally

Before You Begin

In order to enable LLDP, you must first install the LLDP package. For more information, see How to Install the LLDP Package.

1. Become an administrator.

   For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.2 .

2. Change the SMF auto-enable-agents property to yes if it is set to no.

   # svccfg -s svc:/network/lldp:default setprop lldp/auto-enable-agents = "yes"

   By default, this property is set to yes.

3. Restart the LLDP service.

   # svcadm restart svc:/network/lldp:default

4. (Optional) Customize global TLV units.

   # lldpadm set-tlvprop -p property=value global-TLV

   where property refers to the property of the global TLV unit.
