Configure the LLDP Port-ID Subtype

You can configure the port-ID subtype with any of the following values:

• Interface alias

• Port component

• MAC address

• Network address

• Intereface name

• Local

While configuring the port-ID subtype as the port component or local setting, you must provide an input string in the command for setting the port ID.

1. At both switches, configure the LLDP port ID subtype.

   SEFOS# configure terminal
   SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/1
   SEFOS(config-if)# lldp port-id-subtype mac-addr
   SEFOS(config-if)# exit
   SEFOS(config)# set lldp enable
   SEFOS(config)# end

2. At switch 1, review the local system information on extreme-ethernet 0/1.

   SEFOS# show lldp local extreme-ethernet 0/1
   Port Id SubType            : Mac Address
   Port Id                : 00:01:02:03:04:01
   ...

3. At switch 2, review the information of the learned, remote entry on extreme-ethernet 0/1.

   SEFOS# show lldp neighbors extreme-ethernet 0/1 detail
   ...
   Port Id SubType            : Mac Address
   Port Id                : 00:01:02:03:04:01
   ...
