LLDP Automatic Settings
LLDP Automatic Settings
1. Function Overview
The LLDP automatic setting specifies sending/receiving proprietary LLDP frames to automatically perform specific processes, such as specifying settings based on information in LLDP notifications or saving log data.
The following are automatically specified or executed by using the LLDP automatic setting.
-
Dante Optimization Settings
-
When the components of the Yamaha ADECIA teleconferencing system are connected, the optimal settings for using Dante are automatically reflected.
-
-
Power shutoff advance notification by the schedule function
-
When the PoE power shutoff is scheduled for the port to which the Yamaha wireless access point is connected, you will be notified of the power shutoff timing in advance, and the Yamaha wireless access point will save a log just before the power shutoff.
-
To determine Yamaha network switch and wireless access point models that support LLDP automatic setting function, refer to LLDP automatic setting examples.
To determine ADECIA components, refer to ADECIA product information.
2. Definition of Terms Used
LLDP
Link Layer Discovery Protocol.
This is defined in IEEE 802.1AB.
ADECIA
ADECIA is Yamaha’s teleconferencing system. It connects processors, microphones, and speakers used for teleconferencing via a LAN (Dante).
ADECIA Component
Devices (teleconferencing processors, microphones, and speakers) included in ADECIA systems.
3. Function Details
3.1. Basic specifications
If the LLDP automatic setting function is enabled, proprietary LLDP frames will be sent and received.
The LLDP automatic setting as a whole can be enabled and disabled using the lldp auto-setting command.
The default setting for this product is enabled.
Functions enabled with the LLDP automatic setting can be selected using the lldp auto-setting function command.
The default setting for this product is to use all functions.
In order to use this function, reception of LLDP frames must be enabled.
For this reason, check in advance that the following settings have been made.
-
Enable LLDP functionality for the overall system using the lldp run command.
-
Create LLDP agents at applicable interfaces using the lldp-agent command.
-
Specify the LLDP frame transmit/receive mode using the set lldp command.
LLDP frame transmission and reception are enabled in product default settings.
3.2. Dante Optimization Settings
This function automatically applies settings optimized for Dante by receiving LLDP frames created independently by ADECIA components.
For more information, refer to Dante Optimization Settings.
3.3. Power shutoff advance notification by the schedule function
When a PoE power shutoff is scheduled for a specific port on a Yamaha network switch, this function periodically notifies of the remaining time from 10 minutes before the power shutoff until the schedule execution via LLDP.
When a wireless access point is notified of the remaining time until the power shutoff via LLDP, it can prevent the log from being lost due to the power shutoff by saving the log just before the power supply is shut off.
If the following criteria are satisfied at a specific port whose LLDP transmission interval is set to a value greater than 30 seconds, the LLDP transmission interval will be overridden and changed to 30 seconds.
-
LLDP is used and the LLDP automatic setting function is enabled.
-
The PoE power shutoff is scheduled for a specific port.
-
Less than 10 minutes remain until the schedule execution.
If the schedule is executed, the schedule setting is deleted, or the setting is changed to a time more than 10 minutes later, the LLDP transmission interval will return to the original setting value.
If the LLDP transmission interval is overridden and changed to 30 seconds by this function, then an asterisk is appended to the LLDP transmission interval value shown by the show lldp interface command.
-

If the above functionality is used, note the following precautions.
-
Precautions
-
Advance notification of a power shutoff is provided only if the power shutoff is scheduled for a specific port. Note that the notification will not be provided if the power shutoff is scheduled for the entire system.
