Configuring the management address and its encoding format

LLDP encodes management addresses in numeric or string format in management address TLVs.

By default, management addresses are encoded in numeric format. If a neighbor encodes its management address in string format, configure the encoding format of the management address as string on the connecting port. This guarantees normal communication with the neighbor.

To configure a management address to be advertised and its encoding format on a port:

Step	Command	Remarks
1. Enter system view.	system-view	N/A
2. Enter Layer 2 Ethernet interface view, management Ethernet interface view, or Layer 2 aggregate interface view.	interface interface-type interface-number	N/A
3. Allow LLDP to advertise the management address in LLDP frames and configure the advertised management address.	In Layer 2 Ethernet interface view or management Ethernet interface view:lldp [ agent { nearest-customer \| nearest-nontpmr } ] tlv-enable basic-tlv management-address-tlv [ ip-address ] In Layer 2 aggregate interface view:lldp agent { nearest-customer \| nearest-nontpmr } tlv-enable basic-tlv management-address-tlv [ ip-address ]	By default: Nearest bridge agents and nearest customer bridge agents can advertise the management address in LLDP frames. Nearest non-TPMR bridge agents cannot advertise the management address in LLDP frames.
4. Configure the encoding format of the management address as string.	In Layer 2 Ethernet interface view or management Ethernet interface view:lldp [ agent { nearest-customer \| nearest-nontpmr } ] management-address-format string In Layer 2 aggregate interface view:lldp agent { nearest-customer \| nearest-nontpmr } management-address-format string	By default, the encoding format of the management address is numeric.
