Synopsis ¶

This module manages Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) attributes of interfaces on IOS-XR devices.

Parameters ¶

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary				A dictionary of LLDP interfaces options.
	destination dictionary			Specifies LLDP destination configuration on the interface.
		mac_address string	Choices: ieee-nearest-bridge ieee-nearest-non-tmpr-bridge	Specifies the LLDP destination mac address on the interface.
	name string			Name/Identifier of the interface or Ether-Bundle.
	receive boolean		Choices: no yes	Enable/disable LLDP RX on an interface.
	transmit boolean		Choices: no yes	Enable/disable LLDP TX on an interface.
state string			Choices: merged ← replaced overridden deleted	The state of the configuration after module completion.

Notes ¶

Note

Tested against IOS-XR 6.1.3.
This module works with connection network_cli. See the IOS-XR Platform Options.
