Advertise Management IP via LLDPsteemCreated with Sketch.

in networking •  7 years ago  (edited)

Coming from a Cisco background this was a little bit of a change.  I am now using Dell Force10 switches and I have been trying to figure out how to get LLDP to advertise the management IP to its neighbors like CDP does.  CDP does this by default and there is non-default configuration that must be done in order to get LLDP to do it.  With LLDP you must add LLDP configuration to each neighbor facing interface.  

Below is an example of what that configuration would look like: 

In Configuration Mode:

interface FortyGigE 0/120
  no ip address
  mtu 12000
  protocol lldp
  advertise management-tlv management-address system-capabilities system-description system-name
  no shutdown
