   .
    

   Field	Description
   Profile Name	Each profile must have a unique profile name. This value is user-defined; characters can be: alphabetic, numeric, a hyphen (-), or an underscore (_). Blank spaces between characters are allowed. Up to 40 characters may be entered. Note: This attribute cannot be edited once the profile has been created.
   Admin State	Select from Disable, Enable (default Tx and Rx), Tx only, and Rx only.
   Standard Type-Length-Values Activation
   Chassis ID	Represents the chassis identification for the device that transmitted the LLDP frame. The receiving LLDP agent combines the Chassis ID and Port ID to represent the entity connected to the port where the frame was received. (Checked as Required)
   Port ID	Represents the identification of the specific port that transmitted the LLDP frame. The receiving LLDP agent combines the Chassis ID and Port to represent the entity connected to the port where the frame was received. (Checked as Required).
   Time To Live (TTL)	Represents the length of time that information contained in the receive LLDP frame shall be valid. If a value of zero is sent it can also identify a device that has shut down or is no longer transmitting, prompting deletion of the record from the local database. (Checked as Required)
   Port Description	Identifies information about the interface. This will include the name of the manufacturer, the product name, and the version of the interface hardware/software (per RFC2863).
   System Name	Identifies the administratively assigned name for the device (per RFC3418).
   System Description	A textual description of the device. This value typically includes the full name and version identification of the system’s hardware type, software operating-system, and networking software (per RFC3418).
   System Capabilities	Identifies the capabilities of the device and its primary function. (e.g. Repeater, Bridge, WLAN Access Point, Router, Telephone, DOCSIS cable device, Station only, etc.).
   Management Address	Note: Not currently supported.
   Standard Parameters

   IEEE 802.1 Type-Length-Values Activation
   Port VLAN ID (PVID)	Identifies the VLAN identifier associated with an untagged VLAN. Only one Port VLAN ID can exist in an LLDP PDU.
   Port and Protocol VLAN ID (PPVID)	Note: Not currently supported.
   VLAN Name	Allows a device to advertise the textual name of any VLAN with which it is configured.
   IEEE 802.3 Type-Length-Values Activation
   MAC/PHY Configuration	Determines more about the auto negotiation settings of the port, as well as the type of physical interface used.
   Power via MDI	Advertises the power-via-MDI implementations supported by the port. Power Information allows for improved power management for endpoints utilizing IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE).
   Link Aggregation	Note: Not currently supported.
   Maximum Frame Size (MTU)	Reports the maximum supported frame size for the port.
   LLDP-MED Type-Length-Values Activation
   Capabilities	Selecting capabilities enables the LLDP-Med extensions, of which Network Policy is the only extension available at this time. If Capabilities is selected, remaining options in this TLV are enabled.
   Network Policy	Allows both network connectivity devices and endpoints to advertise VLAN configurations and associated Layer-2 and Layer-3 attributes for specific applications on that port. For example, the switch can notify a phone of the VLAN number that it should use. The phone can connect into any switch, contain its VLAN number, and then start communication with the configured call control.
   Location	Location information for the LLDP MED interface.
   Extended Power via MDI (PSE)	Advertises the power source equipment type, power source, power priority, and power value of the port. It is the responsibility of the PSE device (network connectivity device) to advertise the power priority on a port.
   Extended Power via MDI (PD)	Note: Not currently supported.
   Inventory	Advertises inventory information about itself to the switch to which it is attached.
   LLDP-MED Parameters
   MED Fast Start Repeat Count	Enables a device to initially advertise itself at a faster rate for a limited time when an LLDP-MED Endpoint has been newly detected or connected to the network. Default is 4.
   Location Source	Select from Port AID, User Label, Port LLDP MED Location, or Template. Note 1: If Port LLDP_MED Location is selected, Location Type allows selection of Civic Address or ECS ELIN. Note 2: If Template is selected, Location Type allows selection of ECS ELIN.
   Location Type	If Location Source of Port LLDP-MED or Template is selected, select from Civic Address or ECS ELIN.

3. When finished, click on the Apply button. 
4. An LLDP Profile Create Status dialog will be displayed showing the status, and when complete, the close button will be active and the new LLDP profile will appear in the Profile Names list.
   
   
    
5. When update is finished, click on the Close button.
6.  If errors are reported, the exceptions appear in the Error Status section. Do one of the following:
   •  Click Retry to update these ONTs again
   •  Click Terminate to end the process with the errors.

     Note: Typically, these OLT errors are caused by a loss of communication between the Panorama PON server and the ONT.

7. When terminating a process with errors, a warning message confirms that the process was aborted. In the dialog that appears, click on the OK button.

   Note: A manual synchronization can be performed to update these ONTs. However, if the errors were caused by a communication loss, Panorama PON automatically performs a mini synchronization when communication is restored.

8. When the update is finished, click on the Close button. 
9. Go to Step 2 to create more profiles.
10. If no further profiles are to be created, click on the Cancel button to close the Create Ethernet Port LLDP Profile dialog.
11. When update is finished, click on the Close button. 
12. Click on the Close button again to exit the Profiles display dialog.
