  Chapter 25: Link Layer Discovery Protocol

The LLDP information to be distributed by the G8124 ports, and that which has been collected from 
other LLDP stations, is stored in the switch’s Management Information Base (MIB). Network 
Management Systems (NMS) can use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to access 
this MIB information. LLDP-related MIB information is read-only.

Changes, either to the local switch LLDP information or to the remotely received LLDP 
information, are flagged within the MIB for convenient tracking by SNMP-based management 
systems.

For LLDP to provide expected benefits, all network devices that support LLDP should be consistent 
in their LLDP configuration.

By default, LLDP is disabled on the G8124. To turn LLDP on or off, use the following command:

The G8124 can also be configured to transmit or receive LLDP information on a port-by-port basis. 
By default, when LLDP is globally enabled on the switch, G8124 ports transmit and receive LLDP 
information (see the 

tx_rx

 option below). To change the LLDP transmit and receive state, the 

following commands are available:

To view the LLDP transmit and receive status, use the following commands:

RS G8124(config)# [no] lldp enable

RS G8124(config)# interface port 1

RS G8124(config-if)# lldp admin-status tx_rx

RS G8124(config-if)# lldp admin-status tx_only

RS G8124(config-if)# lldp admin-status rx_only

RS G8124(config-if)# no lldp admin-status

RS G8124(config-if)# exit

RS G8124(config)# show lldp port

RS G8124(config)# show interface port
