Chapter 32. Using LLDP to debug network configuration problems

Procedure

1. Create the ~/enable-LLDP-enp1s0.yml file with the following content:

   interfaces:
     - name: enp1s0
       type: ethernet
       lldp:
         enabled: true

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

2. Use the ~/enable-LLDP-enp1s0.yml file to enable LLDP on interface enp1s0:

   # nmstatectl apply ~/enable-LLDP-enp1s0.yml

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

3. Display the LLDP information:

   # nmstatectl show enp1s0
   - name: enp1s0
     type: ethernet
     state: up
     ipv4:
       enabled: false
       dhcp: false
     ipv6:
       enabled: false
       autoconf: false
       dhcp: false
     lldp:
       enabled: true

4. Verify the output to ensure that the settings match your expected configuration. For example, the LLDP information of the interface connected to the switch shows that the switch port this host is connected to uses VLAN ID 448:

   - type: 127
           ieee-802-1-vlans:
           - name: v2-0488-03-0505
             vid: 488

   If the network configuration of the enp1s0 interface uses a different VLAN ID, change it accordingly.
