To enable LLDP-MED network connectivity device functions, configure the config port ethernet lldp dest-mac lldp-med admin-status command. When this command is configured, the behavior of the node is as follows:
If admin-status is set to rx-tx, the LLDP agent transmits and receives LLDP-MED TLVs on the port. The 7210 SAS node includes the LLDP-MED Capabilities TLV and the Network Policy TLV (if configured) in the LLDP message that is generated in response to an LLDP message with the LLDP-MED Capabilities TLV received on the port.
If admin-status is set to disabled, the 7210 SAS ignores and does not process the LLDP-MED Capabilities TLV in the LLDP message received on the port.
The configure port ethernet lldp admin-status command must be enabled for LLDP-MED TLV processing. The admin-status configuration in the lldp context must not conflict with the admin-status configuration in the lldp-med context.
When LLDP-MED is enabled on the port, the Network Policy TLV is sent out of the port using the parameters configured for the network policy that is associated with the port.
See the 7210 SAS-Mxp, R6, R12, S, Sx, T Basic System Configuration Guide for more information about configuring network policy parameters using commands in the config>system>lldp>lldp-med context.
