Configuring LLDP

About LLDP

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a standard link layer protocol that allows network devices from different vendors to discover neighbors and exchange system and configuration information.

In an LLDP-enabled network, a device advertises local device information in LLDP Data Units (LLDPDUs) to the directly connected devices. The information distributed through LLDP is stored by its recipients in standard MIBs, making it possible for the information to be accessed by a Network Management System (NMS) through SNMP.

Information that can be distributed through LLDP includes (but is not limited to):

·     Major capabilities of the system.

·     Management IP address of the system.

·     Device ID.

·     Port ID.

LLDP agents and bridge modes

An LLDP agent is a mapping of a protocol entity that implements LLDP. Multiple LLDP agents can run on the same interface.

LLDP agents are classified into the following types:

·     Nearest bridge agent.

·     Nearest customer bridge agent.

·     Nearest non-TPMR bridge agent.

A Two-port MAC Relay (TPMR) is a type of bridge that has only two externally-accessible bridge ports. It supports a subset of the features of a MAC bridge. A TPMR is transparent to all frame-based media-independent protocols except for the following protocols:

¡     Protocols destined for the TPMR.

¡     Protocols destined for reserved MAC addresses that the relay feature of the TPMR is configured not to forward.

LLDP exchanges packets between neighbor agents and creates and maintains neighbor information for them. Figure 1 shows the neighbor relationships for these LLDP agents.

Figure 1 LLDP neighbor relationships

 

The types of supported LLDP agents vary with the bridge mode in which LLDP operates. LLDP supports the following bridge modes: customer bridge (CB) and service bridge (SB).

·     Customer bridge mode—LLDP supports nearest bridge agent, nearest non-TPMR bridge agent, and nearest customer bridge agent. LLDP processes the LLDP frames with destination MAC addresses for these agents and transparently transmits the LLDP frames with other destination MAC addresses in VLANs.

·     Service bridge mode—LLDP supports nearest bridge agent and nearest non-TPMR bridge agent. LLDP processes the LLDP frames with destination MAC addresses for these agents and transparently transmits the LLDP frames with other destination MAC addresses in VLANs.

LLDP frame formats

LLDP sends device information in LLDP frames. LLDP frames are encapsulated in Ethernet II or Subnetwork Access Protocol (SNAP) format.

LLDP frame encapsulated in Ethernet II

Figure 2 Ethernet II-encapsulated LLDP frame

 

Table 1 Fields in an Ethernet II-encapsulated LLDP frame

Field

Description

Destination MAC address

MAC address to which the LLDP frame is advertised. LLDP specifies different multicast MAC addresses as destination MAC addresses for LLDP frames destined for agents of different types. This helps distinguish between LLDP frames sent and received by different agent types on the same interface. The destination MAC address is fixed to one of the following multicast MAC addresses:

·     0x0180-c200-000E for LLDP frames destined for nearest bridge agents.

·     0x0180-c200-0000 for LLDP frames destined for nearest customer bridge agents.

·     0x0180-c200-0003 for LLDP frames destined for nearest non-TPMR bridge agents.

Figure 4 LLDPDU encapsulation format

 

As shown in Figure 4, each LLDPDU starts with the following mandatory TLVs: Chassis ID TLV, Port ID TLV, and Time to Live TLV. The mandatory TLVs are followed by a maximum of 29 optional TLVs.

TLVs

A TLV is an information element that contains the type, length, and value fields.

LLDPDU TLVs include the following categories:

·     Basic management TLVs.

·     Organizationally (IEEE 802.1 and IEEE 802.3) specific TLVs.

·     LLDP-MED (media endpoint discovery) TLVs.

Basic management TLVs are essential to device management.

Organizationally specific TLVs and LLDP-MED TLVs are used for enhanced device management. They are defined by standardization or other organizations and are optional for LLDPDUs.

Management address

The network management system uses the management address of a device to identify and manage the device for topology maintenance and network management. The management address is encapsulated in the management address TLV.

LLDP operating modes

An LLDP agent can operate in one of the following modes:

·     TxRx mode—An LLDP agent in this mode can send and receive LLDP frames.

·     Tx mode—An LLDP agent in this mode can only send LLDP frames.

·     Rx mode—An LLDP agent in this mode can only receive LLDP frames.

·     Disable mode—An LLDP agent in this mode cannot send or receive LLDP frames.

Each time the operating mode of an LLDP agent changes, its LLDP protocol state machine reinitializes. A configurable reinitialization delay prevents frequent initializations caused by frequent changes to the operating mode. If you configure the reinitialization delay, an LLDP agent must wait the specified amount of time to initialize LLDP after the LLDP operating mode changes.

Transmitting and receiving LLDP frames

Transmitting LLDP frames

An LLDP agent operating in TxRx mode or Tx mode sends LLDP frames to its directly connected devices both periodically and when the local configuration changes. To prevent LLDP frames from overwhelming the network during times of frequent changes to local device information, LLDP uses the token bucket mechanism to rate limit LLDP frames. For more information about the token bucket mechanism, see traffic policing configuration in QoS Configuration Guide.

LLDP automatically enables the fast LLDP frame transmission mechanism in either of the following cases:

·     A new LLDP frame is received and carries device information new to the local device.

·     The LLDP operating mode of the LLDP agent changes from Disable or Rx to TxRx or Tx.

The fast LLDP frame transmission mechanism successively sends the specified number of LLDP frames at a configurable fast LLDP frame transmission interval. The mechanism helps LLDP neighbors discover the local device as soon as possible. Then, the normal LLDP frame transmission interval resumes.

Receiving LLDP frames

An LLDP agent operating in TxRx mode or Rx mode confirms the validity of TLVs carried in every received LLDP frame. If the TLVs are valid, the LLDP agent saves the information and starts an aging timer. The initial value of the aging timer is equal to the TTL value in the Time To Live TLV carried in the LLDP frame. When the LLDP agent receives a new LLDP frame, the aging timer restarts. When the aging timer decreases to zero, all saved information ages out.

Setting LLDP frame transmission parameters

About this task

The Time to Live TLV carried in an LLDPDU determines how long the device information carried in the LLDPDU can be saved on a recipient device.

By setting the TTL multiplier, you can configure the TTL of locally sent LLDPDUs. The TTL is expressed by using the following formula:

TTL = Min (65535, (TTL multiplier × LLDP frame transmission interval + 1))

As the expression shows, the TTL can be up to 65535 seconds. TTLs greater than 65535 will be rounded down to 65535 seconds.

Procedure

Setting the timeout for receiving LLDP frames

About this task

This feature allows the device to detect the presence of directly connected neighbors by setting the timeout timer for receiving LLDP frames. If an interface has not received any frames when the timeout timer expires, the device reports a no LLDP neighbor event to the NETCONF module.

Restrictions and guidelines

To avoid misdetection, make sure the timeout for receiving LLDP frames is greater than the LLDP frame transmission interval.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

3.     Set the source MAC address of LLDP frames to the MAC address of a Layer 3 Ethernet subinterface.

lldp source-mac vlan vlan-id

By default, the source MAC address of LLDP frames is the MAC address of the egress interface.

To use the MAC address of a Layer 3 Ethernet subinterface as the source MAC address, use vlan-id to specify the subinterface ID in Layer 3 Ethernet interface view.

Enabling generation of ARP or ND entries for received management address TLVs

About generation of ARP or ND entries for received management address TLVs

This feature enables the device to generate an ARP or ND entry after receiving an LLDP frame containing a management address TLV on an interface. The ARP or ND entry maps the advertised management address to the source MAC address of the frame.

You can enable generation of both ARP and ND entries on an interface. If the management address TLV contains an IPv4 address, the device generates an ARP entry. If the management address TLV contains an IPv6 address, the device generates an ND entry.
