Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 11.1 for QFX Series.

Description

Configure Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP). The switch uses LLDP to advertise its identity and capabilities on a LAN, as well as to receive information about other network devices. LLDP is defined in the IEEE standard 802.1AB-2005.

The remaining statements are explained separately.

Note: The transmit-delay and netbios-snooping options are not available on QFabric systems.

Note: On EX4300 switches, LLDP cannot be configured on the me0 or vme interface. Issuing the command set protocols lldp interface me0 generates the following error message:

error: name: 'me0': Invalid interface
error: statement creation failed: interface

Issuing the command set protocols lldp interface vme generates the following error message:

error: name: 'vme': Invalid interface
error: statement creation failed: interface

Default

LLDP is enabled.
