Configure the LLDP Module Status

The LLDP module status is set to Disabled by default.

  1. Enable LLDP in both switches.
    SEFOS# configure terminal
    SEFOS(config)# set lldp enable
    SEFOS(config)# end
  2. In switch 1, view the LLDP module status.
    SEFOS# show lldp
    LLDP is enabled
    Transmit Interval        : 30
    Holdtime Multiplier        : 4
    Reinitialization Delay    : 2
    Tx Delay            : 2
    Notification Interval    : 5
    Chassis Id SubType        : Mac Address
    Chassis Id            : 00:01:02:03:04:01

    Enabling LLDP (that is, configuring the LLDP module status as Enabled) initiates the transmission of LLDPDUs with the mandatory TLVs (chassis-ID TLV, port-ID TLV, time-to-live TLV, and end of LLDPDU TLV) on all ports that are operational (up).

  3. View the current status of the LLDP transmit-state-event machine and receive-state-event machine.

  9. Review the remote table statistics.
    SEFOS# show lldp statistics
    Remote Table Last Change Time    : 20700
    Remote Table Inserts        : 1
    ...
  10. Disable LLDP on both switches.
    SEFOS# configure terminal
    SEFOS(config)# set lldp disable
    SEFOS(config)# end
  11. At switch 1, review the LLDP module status.
    SEFOS# show lldp
    LLDP is disabled
    ...
  12. Review the current status of the LLDP transmit-state-event machine and the receive-state-event machine.
    SEFOS# show lldp interface
    Ex0/1:
    Tx State            : Enabled
    Rx State            : Enabled
    Tx SEM State            : INITIALIZE
    ...

    The preceding example shows output from only one port. Similar output would appear for all 24 ports.

  13. Review the values of the LLDP traffic counters.
    SEFOS# show lldp traffic
    Total Frames Out                : 0
    Total Entries Aged                : 0

    Total Frames Discarded            : 0
    Total TLVS Unrecognized            : 0
    Total TLVs Discarded            : 0
  14. At switch 2, review the information about the neighbors.
    SEFOS# show lldp neighbors
    Capability Codes        :
    (R) Router, (B) Bridge, (T) Telephone, (C) DOCSIS Cable Device,
    (W) WLAN Access Point, (P) Repeater, (S) Station, (O) Other
     
    Chassis ID        Local Intf        Hold-time    Capability    Port Id
    ----------        ----------        ---------    ----------    -------
     
    Total Entries Displayed    : 0

    Disabling LLDP (that is, configuring the LLDP module status as Disabled) stops LLDP transmission and reception, and it clears the remote table information and LLDP traffic counters.
