LLDP 2524

[John Johansson]

Hi,
In my network, all my 2524 switches have issues when it comes to lldp. They can only see, and be seen, by other non 2524 devices. No 2524 can se each other. lldp is globaly enabled in all of them, and all are on sv# 5.65.
Thanks,
John

This is a known restriction; unfortunately these models are very tight on flash memory.

Thanks for the respons,

I was under the impression lldp recieve and transmit both work if your software is above 5.60, so it does not seem to be the same issue here.

I have gotten a bit further since my first post, it seem only to affect tagged links, as untagged links works.

Is this a bug or a "feature" or just the way it is suppose to be?

[Richard Brodie_1]

You're right; the LLDP support is both transmit/receive in the latest versions.

So the 2500 can now use all features in LLDP? Do you know from which version this was implemented?

Hi RicN

It was fixed with Firmware version F.05.60

Enhancement (PR_1000376193) â The switch can now receive LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) packets from other devices on the network. In prior releases, only the
transmission of LLDP packets was supported. This change will allow more accurate switch
mapping in ProCurve Manager..

Kind Regards
