After working with LLDP information to and from some of the Force10s in our DCs, I noticed a problem or “limitation” with the way that it was sending LLDP information to some of our other gear. I found that the system information was not being sent by default which is a security feature but I needed the name and further detail.
Here is the simple answer, as I could not find it anywhere else online:
ftos-lab-1(conf) protocol lldp advertise management-tlv management-address system-capabilities system-description system-name
