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.

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 ACL and 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.

Collaboration with Track

You can configure a track entry and associate it with an LLDP interface. The LLDP module checks the neighbor availability of the LLDP interface and reports the check result to the Track module. The Track module changes the track entry status accordingly so the associated application module can take correct actions.

The Track module changes the track entry status based on the neighbor availability of a monitored LLDP interface as follows:

·     If the neighbor of the LLDP interface is available, the Track module sets the track entry to Positive state.

·     If the neighbor of the LLDP interface is unavailable, the Track module sets the track entry to Negative state.

For more information about collaboration between Track and LLDP, see the track configuration in High Availability Configuration Guide.

AP reboot through LLDP

As a power sourcing equipment (PSE), the device can detect the state of a powered AP through the neighbor aging mechanism. If an AP does not send LLDP frames because of failure, the device restarts the AP by calling the PoE module to restart the power interface (PI) attached to the AP.

The AP reboot mechanism is as follows:

1.     The device receives LLDP frames that carry the WlanAccessPoint field in the system capabilities TLV and identifies the frame source as an AP neighbor.

2.     If the device has not received any LLDP frames from the AP when the AP ages out and the PI attached to the AP is physically up, the device reboots the PI. If the PI is down, the device deletes the neighbor relationship with the AP.

The AP reboot mechanism takes effect only on the PIs that have only one AP neighbor.

For more information about PSEs, powered devices (PDs), and PIs, see PoE configuration in Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.

Configuring advertisement of the management address TLV

About this task

LLDP encodes management addresses in numeric or string format in management address TLVs.

If a neighbor encodes its management address in string format, set the encoding format of the management address to string on the connecting port. This guarantees normal communication with the neighbor.

You can configure advertisement of the management address TLV globally or on a per-interface basis. The device selects the management address TLV advertisement setting for an interface in the following order:

1.     Interface-based setting, configured by using the lldp tlv-enable command with the management-address-tlv keyword.

2.     Global setting, configured by using the lldp global tlv-enable basic-tlv management-address-tlv command.

3.     Default setting for the interface.

By default:

¡     The nearest bridge agent and nearest customer bridge agent advertise the management address TLV.

¡     The nearest non-TPMR bridge agent does not advertise the management address TLV.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

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

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Set the TTL multiplier.

lldp hold-multiplier value

The default setting is 4.

3.     Set the LLDP frame transmission interval.

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.

system-view

2.     Set the timeout for receiving LLDP frames.

lldp timer rx-timeout timeout

By default, no timeout is set for receiving LLDP frames, and the device does not report no LLDP neighbor events.

Enabling LLDP polling

Disabling LLDP PVID inconsistency check

About this task

By default, when the system receives an LLDP packet, it compares the PVID value contained in the packet with the PVID configured on the receiving interface. If the two PVIDs do not match, a log message will be printed to notify the user.

You can disable PVID inconsistency check if different PVIDs are required on a link.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

Configuring CDP compatibility

About this task

To enable your device to exchange information with a directly connected Cisco device that supports only CDP, you must enable CDP compatibility.

CDP compatibility enables your device to receive and recognize CDP packets from the neighboring CDP device and send CDP packets to the neighboring device. The CDP packets sent to the neighboring CDP device carry the following information:

·     Device ID.

·     ID of the port connecting to the neighboring device.

·     Port IP address.

·     TTL.

The port IP address is the primary IP address of a VLAN interface in up state. The VLAN ID of the VLAN interface must be the lowest among the VLANs permitted on the port. If no VLAN interfaces of the permitted VLANs are assigned an IP address or all VLAN interfaces are down, no port IP address will be advertised.

You can view the neighboring CDP device information that can be recognized by the device in the output of the display lldp neighbor-information command. For more information about the display lldp neighbor-information command, see LLDP commands in Layer 2—LAN Switching Command Reference.

To make your device work with Cisco IP phones, you must enable CDP compatibility.

If your LLDP-enabled device cannot recognize CDP packets, it does not respond to the requests of Cisco IP phones for the voice VLAN ID configured on the device. As a result, a requesting Cisco IP phone sends voice traffic without any tag to your device. Your device cannot differentiate the voice traffic from other types of traffic.

CDP compatibility enables your device to receive and recognize CDP packets from a Cisco IP phone and respond with CDP packets carrying TLVs with the configured voice VLAN. If no voice VLAN is configured for CDP packets, CDP packets carry the voice VLAN of the port or the voice VLAN assigned by the RADIUS server. The assigned voice VLAN has a higher priority. According to TLVs with the voice VLAN configuration, the IP phone automatically configures the voice VLAN. As a result, the voice traffic is confined in the configured voice VLAN and is differentiated from other types of traffic.

For more information about voice VLANs, see "Configuring voice VLANs."

When the device is connected to a Cisco IP phone that has a host attached to its data port, the host must access the network through the Cisco IP phone. If the data port goes down, the IP phone will send a CDP packet to the device so the device can log out the user.

CDP-compatible LLDP operates in one of the following modes:

·     TxRx—CDP packets can be transmitted and received.

·     Rx—CDP packets can be received but cannot be transmitted.

·     Disable—CDP packets cannot be transmitted or received.

Restrictions and guidelines

When you configure CDP compatibility for LLDP, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

·     To make CDP-compatible LLDP take effect on a port, follow these steps:

a.     Enable CDP-compatible LLDP globally.

b.     Configure CDP-compatible LLDP to operate in TxRx mode on the port.

·     The maximum TTL value that CDP allows is 255 seconds. To make CDP-compatible LLDP work correctly with Cisco IP phones, configure the LLDP frame transmission interval to be no more than 1/3 of the TTL value.

Prerequisites

Before you configure CDP compatibility, complete the following tasks:

·     Globally enable LLDP.

·     Enable LLDP on the port connecting to a CDP device.

·     Configure LLDP to operate in TxRx mode on the port.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Enable CDP compatibility globally.

lldp compliance cdp

By default, CDP compatibility is disabled globally.

3.     Enter Layer 2/Layer 3 Ethernet interface view or management Ethernet interface view.

interface interface-type interface-number

4.     Configure CDP-compatible LLDP to operate in TxRx mode.

lldp compliance admin-status cdp txrx

By default, CDP-compatible LLDP operates in disable mode.

5.     Set the voice VLAN ID carried in CDP packets.

cdp voice-vlan vlan-id

By default, no voice VLAN ID is configured to be carried in CDP packets.

Configuring LLDP trapping and LLDP-MED trapping

About this task

LLDP trapping or LLDP-MED trapping notifies the network management system of events such as newly detected neighboring devices and link failures.

To prevent excessive LLDP traps from being sent when the topology is unstable, set a trap transmission interval for LLDP.

Procedure

Configuring MAC address learning for DCN

Setting the source MAC address of LLDP frames

About this task

This feature must be configured with generation of ARP or ND entries for received management address TLVs to meet the following requirements:

·     The source MAC address of outgoing LLDP frames is the MAC address of a VLAN interface instead of the MAC address of the egress interface.

·     The neighbor device can generate correct ARP or ND entries for the local device.

In Layer 2 Ethernet interface view, this feature sets the source MAC address of outgoing LLDP frames to the MAC address of a VLAN interface to which the specified VLAN ID belongs. The source MAC address of outgoing LLDP frames is the MAC address of the Layer 2 Ethernet interface in the following situations:

·     The specified VLAN or the corresponding VLAN interface does not exist.

·     The VLAN interface to which the VLAN ID belongs is physically down.

In Layer 3 Ethernet interface view, the MAC address of the Layer 3 Ethernet interface is always used as the source MAC address of outgoing LLDP frames, regardless of which VLAN ID you specify.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Enter Layer 2 or Layer 3 Ethernet interface view.

interface interface-type interface-number

3.     Set the source MAC address of LLDP frames to the MAC address of a VLAN interface or the Layer 3 Ethernet interface.

lldp source-mac vlan vlan-id

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

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

About this task

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.

In Layer 2 Ethernet interface view, this feature sets the Layer 2 Ethernet interface to the output interface in the generated entries. The VLAN to which the entries belong is the VLAN specified by this feature. The device cannot generate ARP or ND entries in one of the following situations:

·     The specified VLAN or the corresponding VLAN interface does not exist.

·     The VLAN interface to which the VLAN ID belongs is physically down.

In Layer 3 Ethernet interface view, the Layer 3 Ethernet interface is always recorded as the output interface, whether you specify a VLAN ID or not.

Restrictions and guidelines

This feature must be configured with the feature of setting the source MAC address of LLDP frames to meet the following requirements:

·     The device uses the MAC address of a VLAN interface or a Layer 3 Ethernet subinterface instead of the egress interface's MAC address as the source MAC address of LLDP frames.

·     The neighbor device can generate correct ARP or ND entries.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Enter Layer 2 or Layer 3 Ethernet interface view.

interface interface-type interface-number

3.     Enable generation of ARP or ND entries for management address TLVs received on the interface.

¡     In Layer 2 Ethernet interface view:

lldp management-address { arp-learning | nd-learning } vlan vlan-id

¡     In Layer 3 Ethernet interface view:

lldp management-address { arp-learning | nd-learning } [ vlan vlan-id ]

By default, generation of ARP or ND entries for received management address TLVs is disabled on an interface.

In Layer 2 Ethernet interface view, the vlan vlan-id option specifies the ID of the VLAN to which the generated ARP or ND entry belongs. To prevent the ARP or ND entries from overwriting each other, do not specify the same VLAN ID for different Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces.

You can enable generation of both ARP and ND entries on an interface.
