    Parameter

    Description

    Option(s)

    LLDP

    Admin State

    Specifies the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) mode.

    • LLDP manages LAG ports individually. LLDP sends separate advertisements on each port in a LAG. LLDP data received through LAG ports is stored individually per port.
    • An LLDP operation on a port is not dependent on the STP state of a port. This means that LLDP frames are sent and received on blocked ports. If a port is controlled by 802.1X, LLDP operates only if the port is authorized.
