lldp management-address
Function
The lldp management-address command configures the LLDP management IP address.
The undo lldp management-address command restores the default setting.
By default, the system automatically obtains the management IP address.
Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
The management IP address is carried in the management address TLV field of the LLDP packet. It is used by the NMS to identify and manage devices. A management address identifies a device, facilitating the layout of the network topology and network management. To allocate a management address to a neighbor, run the lldp management-address command.
Prerequisites
The LLDP function has been enabled globally.
The management IP address to be allocated must be a valid unicast IP address existing on the device.
Configuration Impact
After the configuration, the management IP address is added to the management address TLV field of the LLDP packet. The NMS then identifies the device according to the management IP address.
Precautions
If the configured management IP address is invalid or no management IP address is configured, the system sets an IP address in the address list as the management IP address. The system selects the IP address in the following sequence: loopback interface address, MEth interface address, and VLANIF interface address. Among the IP addresses of the same type, the system selects the smallest one. If the system does not find a management IP address, the bridge MAC address is used as the management IP address.
