Force 10 Network LLDP Neighbor Config

Force 10 Network LLDP Neighbor Config

If you are using lldp or Local Link Discovery Protocol in your Dell Force 10 Network deployment, enabling the ability to see the attached hostname by name when you punch "show lldp neighbor" would probably be very helpful in reference, especially when you are troubleshooting.

The command is:
#advertise management-tlv system-capabilities system-description system-name
and goes under interface/protocoll lldp. See below as an example.




interface fortyGigE 0/48
 description anything
 no ip address
 mtu 12000
 switchport
 flowcontrol rx on tx off 
!
 protocol lldp
  advertise management-tlv system-capabilities system-description system-name
  advertise interface-port-desc
 no shutdown

If you have any other question, message me.
