LLDP to get prrper info from Virtual Connect module ?

[chuckk281]

Frauke had a customer question:

*****************

My customer wants to use LLDP from his Nexus switch to get information from the VC module.

Some time ago I had a similar request and by that time it was “not supported”.

Does anybody know whether this is “supported” now.

What the customer gets is the following:

Chassis id: 0024.81f7.b78b

Port id: X5

Local Port id: Eth1/9

Port Description: not advertised

System Name: VcD_da6e43ddec97

System Description: HP VC FlexFabric 10Gb/24-Port Module 3.30 2011-08-16T03:34:59Z

But I could not find a place to configure a value for the System Name (VcD_da6e43ddec97).

**********************

Info from Ramu:

*******************

VC supports LLDP. Please refer page # 36 in below VC for Cisco administrator link.

***************

I would suggest the customer check the VC version as well. LLDP has been supported for quite some time. Any other suggestions?

currenly that "VcD..." string is internal VC domain name and users don't have control to change it. The upcoming feature release 3.70 should be able to change this system name.
