Enable LLDP Click to enable or disable the Wireless AP from broadcasting
LLDP information. This option is disabled by default.
If SNMP is enabled on the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller and you
enable LLDP, the LLDP Confirmation dialog is displayed.
Select one of the following:
Proceed (not recommended) — Select this option to enable
LLDP and keep SNMP running, and then click OK.
Disable SNMP publishing, and proceed — Select this option to
enable LLDP and disable SNMP, and then click OK.
For more information on enabling SNMP, see the SCALANCE
WLC711 Maintenance Guide.
Announcement Interval If LLDP is enabled, type how often the Wireless AP advertises its
information by sending a new LLDP packet. This value is
measured in seconds.
If there are no changes to the Wireless AP configuration that
impact the LLDP information, the Wireless AP sends a new LLDP
packet according to this schedule.
Note: The Time to Live value cannot be directly edited. The Time
to Live value is calculated as four times the Announcement
Interval value.
Announcement Delay If LLDP is enabled, type the announcement delay. This value is
measured in seconds. If a change to the Wireless AP
configuration occurs which impacts the LLDP information, the
Wireless AP sends an updated LLDP packet. The announcement
delay is the length of time that delays the new packet delivery. The
announcement delay helps minimize LLDP packet traffic.
Real Capture Click Start to start real capture server on the AP. This feature can
be enabled for each AP individually. Statistics are captured using
an external connection to a Windows WireShark client. In
Wireshark, by selecting the remote APs’ IP address and null
authentication, the wired and enabled wireless interfaces are
listed as available for capture. Default capture server timeout is
set to 300 seconds and the maximum configurable timeout is 1
hour. Capture statistics are found on the Active Wireless APs
report (see Viewing Statistics for APs).
