Profiles LLDP

The LLDP Profile is used for configuring the Link Layer Discovery Profile (LLDP) that allows the OLT and attached devices to exchange information about each other.  This allows the discovery of devices, their IP, software capabilities, and more.  It also allows configuration of VLANs for voice phones.  The LLDP Profile supports the following attributes:

  • Command – no
  • Module – tolt
  • Container – profiles
  • Types – Example Parameters
    • Container – lldp-profiles

  1. From theMDS1-ESUA<config># command line, input no tolt profiles lldp-profiles lldp-enabled, and press Enter. 
  2. Input commit and press Enter. Outputs similar to the following are displayed:

MDS1-ESUA<config># no tolt profiles lldp-profiles lldp-enabled <enter>
MDS1-ESUA<config># commit <enter>
