LLDP-MED capabilities

When enabled, LLDP-MED is enabled, and the LLDP-MED capabilities TLV is sent whenever any other LLDP-MED TLV is sent. When disabled, LLDP-MED is disabled and no LLDP-MED TLVs are sent.

The LLDP-MED capabilities advertisement includes the following information:

  • The supported LLDP-MED TLVs
  • The device type (Network Connectivity device or Endpoint (Class 1, 2, or 3))

By default, LLDP-MED information is automatically advertised when LLDP-MED is enabled. To disable this advertisement, enter a command such as the following. 

device(config)#no lldp advertise med-capabilities ports e 1/2/4 to 1/2/12
Note: Disabling the LLDP-MED capabilities TLV disables LLDP-MED.

To re-enable the LLDP-MED Capabilities TLV (and LLDP-MED) after it has been disabled, enter a command such as the following. 

device(config)#lldp advertise med-capabilities ports e 1/2/4 to 1/2/12

The LLDP-MED capabilities advertisement will appear similar to the following on the remote device, and in the CLI display output on the RUCKUS device (show lldp local-info ).
