Usage Guidelines In order for LLDP to discover servers connected to your device, the servers must be running openLLDP
software.
LLDP must be enabled on the device before you can enable or disable it on any interfaces.
Note LLDP is supported only on physical interfaces. LLDP timers and type, length, and value (TLV)
descriptions cannot be configured using Cisco DCNM.
LLDP can discover up to one device per port. LLDP can discover up to one server per port. LLDP can
discover only Linux servers that are connected to your device. LLDP can discover Linux servers, if they

Make sure that you are in the correct virtual device context (VDC). To switch VDCs, use the switchto
