Nexus1000v support of LLDP

[Hongjun Ma]

I can't see "feature lldp" available in Nexus1000v CLI or configuration guide. Does it support it? From data sheet, it seems to support.

Hi Hongjun,

I don't think Nexus 1000v supports LLDP

From the Data Sheet below:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps9441/ps9902/data_sheet_c78-492971.html

I don't see it mentions LLDP as well.

Is there any particular reason that you need LLDP from Nexus 1000v?

thanks Maoyuan.

i was looking at this data sheet and if you search lldp, you'll see it.

lldp comes handy when N1Kv is connecting to non-cisco upstream switches so both sides can give users topology info by show lldp.

i'm surprised that lldp is taken away from N1Kv because it's a simple feature and pretty much available for other NX-OS or IOS platforms.
