LLDP global settings

Using the GUI:

1. Go to Switch > LLDP MED > Settings.
2. Select or clear Enable LLDP Transmit/Receive.
3. Select the management interface.
4. Enter a value in the Transmit Hold field.
5. Enter the number of seconds for the transmit interval.
6. Select or clear Fast Start. If you select Fast Start, enter the number of seconds.
7. Select Update.

Using the CLI:

config switch lldp settings

set status {enable | disable}

set tx-hold <integer>

set tx-interval <integer>

set fast-start-interval <integer>

set management-interface <layer-3 interface>

set management-address {ipv4 | ipv6 | none}

end

Variable	Description
status	Enable or disable
tx-hold	Number of tx-intervals before the local LLDP data expires (that is, the packet TTL (in seconds) is tx-hold times tx-interval). The range for tx-hold is 1 to 16, and the default value is 4.
tx-interval	Frequency of LLDP PDU transmission ranging from 5 to 4095 seconds (default is 30).
fast-start-interval	How often the FortiSwitch unit transmits the first four LLDP packets when a link comes up. The range is 2 to 5 seconds, and the default is 2 seconds. Set this variable to zero to disable fast start.
management-interface	Primary management interface advertised in LLDP and CDP PDUs.
management-address	Select whether to advertise an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, or none. By default, both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are advertised.

Setting the asset tag

To help identify the unit, LLDP uses the asset tag, which can be at most 32 characters. It will be added to the LLDP-MED inventory TLV (when that TLV is enabled):

config system global

set asset-tag <string>

end

Configuring the location table

Because mobile phones have no fixed addresses associated with them, calls to 911 need the location information provided in emergency location identifier numbers (ELINs). You need to first configure the location table used by LLDP-MED for enhanced 911 emergency calls and then configure the LLDP profile to use the location table.
