Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a vendor-neutral Link Layer protocol in the Internet Protocol Suite used by network devices for advertising their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on a IEEE 802 LAN. The protocol is formally defined in IEEE 802.1AB. From version 3.8.2000, LLDP is now enabled by default.

  1. Enable LLDP globally on the switch.

    switch (config) # lldp

  2. Enable LLDP per interface.

    Copy

Data Center Bridging (DCB) is an enabler for running the Ethernet network with lossless connectivity using priority-based flow control and enhanced transmission selection. DCBX (exchange) complements the DCB implementation by offering a dynamic protocol that communicates DCB attributes between peering endpoint. NVIDIA Onyx supports two versions of DCBX TLVs running on top of LLDP:

  • DCBX IEEE

  • DCBX CEE

By default DCBX IEEE is enabled when LLDP is enabled. LLDP is enabled by default.

Notes


lldp timer

lldp timer <seconds>

no lldp timer

Sets the LLDP interval at which LLDP frames are transmitted. (lldpMessageTxInterval).

The no form of the command sets the parameter to default.

Default

30

Configuration Mode

Default

2

Configuration Mode

config

History

3.2.0300

Example

switch (config)# lldp tx-delay 10

Related Commands

Notes

The recommended value for the tx-delay is set by the following formula: 1 <= lldp tx-delay <= (0.25 * lldp timer)


lldp tx-hold-multiplier

lldp tx-hold-multiplier <seconds>

no lldp tx-hold-multiplier

The time-to-live value expressed as a multiple of the lldpMessageTxInterval object.

The no form of the command sets the parameter to default.

Syntax Description

Default

2

Configuration Mode

config

History

3.2.0300

Example

switch (config)# lldp tx-hold-multiplier 10

Related Commands

show lldp timers

Notes

The actual time-to-live value used in LLDP frames, can be expressed by the following formula: TTL = min(65535, (lldpMessageTxInterval * lldpMessageTxHoldMultiplier)). For example, if the value of lldpMessageTxInterval is 30, and the value of lldpMessageTxHoldMultiplier is 4, then the value 120 is encoded in the TTL field in the LLDP header.
