SYNOPSIS
[-d ] [-L location ] [-P policy ] [-O poe ] [interface ... ]DESCRIPTION
The program controls lldpd(8) daemon.When no specific option is given, displays the list of discovered neighbors along with some of their advertised capabilities. If some interfaces are given, only those interfaces will be displayed.
The options are as follows:
- -d
- Enable more debugging information.
- -f format
- Choose the output format. Currently plain xml and keyvalue formats are available. The default is plain.
- -L location
-
Enable the transmission of LLDP-MED location TLV for the given
interfaces. This option can be repeated several times to enable the
transmission of the location in several formats. Several formats are
accepted:
- Coordinate based location
- The format of location is 1:48.85667:N:2.2014:E:117.47:m:1 The first digit is always 1 It is followed by the latitude, a letter for the direction ( E or W for East or West), the longitude and a letter for the direction ( N or S ). The next figure is the altitude. It can be expressed in meters (the next letter is then m ) or in floors (the letter should be f ). The last digit is the datum. It can either be 1 (WGS84), 2 (NAD83) or 3 (NAD83/MLLW).
- Civic address
-
The location can be expressed as an address. The format of the
location is then
2:FR:6:Commercial Rd:3:Roseville:19:4
The first digit is always
2
The next two letters are the country code. Then, arguments are paired
to form the address. The first member of the pair is a digit
indicating the type of the second member. Here is the list of
valid types:
- 0
- Language
- 1
- National subdivisions
- 2
- County, parish, district
- 3
- City, township
- 4
- City division, borough, ward
- 5
- Neighborhood, block
- 6
- Street
- 16
- Leading street direction
- 17
- Trailing street suffix
- 18
- Street suffix
- 19
- House number
- 20
- House number suffix
- 21
- Landmark or vanity address
- 22
- Additional location info
- 23
- Name
- 24
- Postal/ZIP code
- 25
- Building
- 26
- Unit
- 27
- Floor
- 28
- Room number
- 29
- Place type
- 128
- Script
- ECS ELIN
- This is a numerical string using for setting up emergency call. The format of the location is then the following: 3:0000000911 where the first digit should be 3 and the second argument is the ELIN number.
When setting a location for a given port, all previous locations are erased. To erase all location, just use the empty string. There is currently no way to get the location from the command line.
- -P policy
-
Enable the transmission of LLDP-MED Network Policy TLVs for the given
interfaces. This option can be repeated several times to specify
different policies. Format (without spaces!):
App-Type : U : T : VLAN-ID : L2-Prio : DSCP
- App-Type
-
Valid application types (see ANSI/TIA-1057 table 12):
- 1
- Voice
- 2
- Voice Signaling
- 3
- Guest Voice
- 4
- Guest Voice Signaling
- 5
- Softphone Voice
- 6
- Video Conferencing
- 7
- Streaming Video
- 8
- Video Signaling
- U
-
Unknown Policy Flag.
- 0
- Network policy for the specified application type is defined.
- 1
- Network policy for the specified application type is required by the device but is currently unknown. This is used by Endpoint Devices, not by Network Connectivity Devices.
- T
-
Tagged Flag.
- 0
- Untagged VLAN. In this case the VLAN ID and the Layer 2 Priority are ignored and only the DSCP value has relevance.
- 1
- Tagged VLAN.
- VLAN-ID
- IEEE 802.1q VLAN ID (VID). A value of 1 through 4094 defines a VLAN ID. A value of 0 means that only the priority level is significant.
- L2-Prio
-
IEEE 802.1d / IEEE 802.1p Layer 2 Priority, also known as Class of Service
(CoS), to be used for the specified application type.
- 1
- Background
- 2
- Spare
- 0
- Best Effort (default)
- 3
- Excellent Effort
- 4
- Controlled Load
- 5
- Video
- 6
- Voice
- 7
- Network Control
- DSCP
- DiffServ/Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value as defined in IETF RFC 2474 for the specified application type. Value: 0 (default per RFC 2475) through 63. Note: The class selector DSCP values are backwards compatible for devices that only support the old IP precedence Type of Service (ToS) format. (See the RFCs for what these values mean.)
- Examples:
-
- 1:0:1:500:6:46
- Voice (1): not unknown (0), tagged (1), VLAN-ID 500, l2 prio Voice (6), DSCP 46 (EF, Expedited Forwarding)
- 2:0:1:500:3:24
- Voice Signaling (2): not unknown (0), tagged (1), VLAN-ID 500, l2 prio Excellent Effort (3), DSCP 24 (CS3, Class Selector 3)
- -O poe
-
Enable the transmission of LLDP-MED POE-MDI TLV for the given
interfaces. One can act as a PD (power consumer) or a PSE (power
provider). No check is done on the validity of the parameters while
LLDP-MED requires some restrictions:
- PD shall never request more power than physical 802.3af class.
- PD shall never draw more than the maximum power advertised by PSE.
- PSE shall not reduce power allocated to PD when this power is in use.
- PSE may request reduced power using conservation mode
- Being PSE or PD is a global paremeter, not a per-port parameter. does not enforce this: a port can be set as PD or PSE. LLDP-MED also requires for a PSE to only have one power source (primary or backup). Again, does not enforce this. Each port can have its own power source. The same applies for PD and power priority. LLDP-MED MIB does not allow this kind of representation.
The format of this option is (without spaces):
type : source : priority : value :
- type
-
Valid types are:
- PSE
- Power Sourcing Entity (power provider)
- PD
- Power Device (power consumer)
- source
-
Valid sources are:
- 0
- Unknown
- 1
- For PD, the power source is the PSE. For PSE, the power source is the primary power source.
- 2
- For PD, the power source is a local source. For PSE, the power source is the backup power source or a power conservation mode is asked (the PSE may be running on UPS for example).
- 3
- For PD, the power source is both the PSE and a local source. For PSE, this value should not be used.
- priority
-
Four priorities are available:
- 0
- Unknown priority
- 1
- Critical
- 2
- High
- 3
- Low
- value
- For PD, the power value is the total power in tenth of watts required by a PD device from the PSE device. This value should range from 0 to 1023 tenth of watts.
