LLDP Agent Modes

    The LLDP agent operates in the following modes:

  • Transmit only (txonly) – The LLDP agent does not process incoming LLDPDUs. Therefore, the remote MIB is empty.

  • Receive only (rxonly) – The agent processes only incoming LLDPDUs and stores the information in remote MIBs. However, no information from the local MIB is transmitted.

  • Transmit and receive (both) – The agent transmits local information and processes incoming LLDPDUs and therefore maintains both local and remote MIBs.

  • Disabled (disable) – The agent does not exist.

For information about setting agent modes, see How to Enable LLDP for Specific Ports.
