Enable the LLDP Notification Status or Type

By default, the notification status is disabled, and the notification type is Mis-configuration. The notification type can be set to either of the following values:

• Mis-configuration

• Remote table change

Setting the notification type to mis-configuration enables LLDP to send notification to SNMP manager when mis-configuration is observed in the system. Setting the notification type to remote table change enables LLDP to send notifications to the SNMP manager whenever remote table changes occur with the configured notification interval between successive notifications.

1. At switch 1, review the default notification status and type.

   SEFOS# show lldp interface extreme-ethernet 0/1
   ...
   Notification Status        : Disabled
   Notification Type        : Mis-configuration

2. Configure the LLDP notification type.

   SEFOS# configure terminal
   SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/1
   SEFOS(config-if)# lldp notification
   SEFOS(config)# end

3. Review the notification status.

   SEFOS# show lldp interface extreme-ethernet 0/1
   ...
   Notification Status        : Enabled
   Notification Type        : Mis-configuration

4. Configure the notification type.

   SEFOS# configure terminal
   SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/1
   SEFOS(config-if)# lldp notification remote-table-chg mis-configuration
   SEFOS(config)# end

5. Review the notification type.

   SEFOS# show lldp interface extreme-ethernet 0/1
   ...
   Notification Type        : RemoteTableChg and MisConfiguration

6. Reset the notification status and type to the default value.

   SEFOS# configure terminal
   SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/1
   SEFOS(config-if)# no lldp notification
   SEFOS(config)# end

7. Review the notification type.

   SEFOS# show lldp interface extreme-ethernet 0/1
   ...
   Notification Status        : Disabled
   Notification Type        : Mis-configuration
