develop branch:
This module installs Open-LLDP. lldpad (LLDP Agent Daemon) is a GPL licensed implementation of the Link Layer Discovery Protocol for Linux.
Actions:
- Installs Open-LLDP (lldpad).
- Starts lldpad.
- Provides LLDP neighbor facts via facter (requires lldpad running and configured to at least receive LLDP frames on each Ethernet interface).
- Configures lldpad to receive and/or transmit LLDP frames via the included lldptool.
- Configures lldpad to transmit LLDP TLVs.
OS Support:
- RedHat family - tested on CentOS 6.3
- SuSE family - presently unsupported (patches welcome)
- Debian family - presently unsupported (patches welcome)
Class documentation is available via puppetdoc.
class { 'openlldp': }
# Configure lldpad to receive and transmit LLDP frames on the specific interface.
openlldp::config::lldp { 'eth0':
adminstatus => 'rxtx',
}
# Configure lldpad to transmit Basic LLDP TLVs.
# openlldp::config::lldp adminstatus has to be tx or rxtx for these to transmit.
openlldp::config::tlv { 'eth0':
portDesc => 'yes',
sysName => 'yes',
sysDesc => 'yes',
sysCap => 'yes',
mngAddr => 'yes',
}
- Open-LLDP talks about applying configurations globally by not specifying "-i ethX" to lldptool. This has not worked with the versions tested (0.9.43), thus a global configuration mode has not been built into the Puppet module.
- PVID TLV is not suported as a keyword with the versions tested (0.9.43), thus the code uses numerical values for all TLVs.
