force10 white bg

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
