-*******
+Enable LLDP service
-* Configure a Define management-address:
+.. cfgcmd:: set service lldp management-address <address>
- :code:`set service lldp management-address <x.x.x.x>`
+Define IPv4 management address transmitted via LLDP.
-* Define listening interfaces
+.. cfgcmd:: set service lldp interface <interface>
- :code:`set service lldp interface <all|interface name>`
+Enable transmission of LLDP information on given `<interface>`. You can also
+say ``all`` here so LLDP is turned on on every interface.
-* LLDPd also implements an SNMP subagent. To Enable SNMP queries of the LLDP
- database:
+.. cfgcmd:: set service lldp interface <interface> disable
- :code:`set service lldp snmp enable`
+Disable transmit of LLDP frames on given `<interface>`. Useful to exclude
+certain interfaces from LLDP when ``all`` have been enabled.

- * ``cdp`` - Listen for CDP for Cisco routers/switches
- * ``edp`` - Listen for EDP for Extreme routers/switches
- * ``fdp`` - Listen for FDP for Foundry routers/switches
- * ``sonmp`` - Listen for SONMP for Nortel routers/switches
