Access port config:

 
An access port belongs to and carries the traffic of only one VLAN within 2-layer switch. Traffic is both received and sent in 337 3.6K
native formats with no VLAN tagging whatsoever. Anything arriving on an access port is simply assumed to belong to the
VLAN assigned to the port.
To configure port in vlan 10: Follow
<HUAWEI>  system-view

Post
[HUAWEI]  interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/15

[HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet 0/0/15] port link-type access

Recommended
[HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet 0/0/15] port default vlan 10

[HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet 0/0/15] quit

Trunk port config:

A trunk interface often connects to a switch, router, AP, or voice terminal that can receive and send tagged and 2 IP Technology Sharing | LLDP

untagged frames simultaneously. It allows tagged frames from multiple VLANs and untagged frames from only
one VLAN called native vlan.
3 What Interfaces support LLD
To configure ethernet port as a trunk port and allow to pass all vlans:
<HUAWEI> system-view

[HUAWEI] interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/13

[HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet 0/0/13]port link-type trunk 4 Does a Management Interfa

[HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet 0/0/13]port trunk allow-pass vlan all

[HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet 0/0/13]quit
 
  5 LLDP Implementation & Net

How to configure VLAN on Huawei:

Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) technology divides a physical LAN into multiple broadcast domains, each of which is
called a VLAN. Hosts within a VLAN can communicate with each other but cannot communicate directly with hosts in other
VLANs. Consequently, broadcast packets are confined to within a single VLAN.
To create vlan:

<Huawei>  system-view

[Huawei]  sysname RouterA

[RouterA]  vlan batch 2 3

 
To assign interface to specific vlan:

[RouterA]  interface ethernet 2/0/1

[RouterA-Ethernet2/0/1]  port link-type access

[RouterA-Ethernet2/0/1]  port default vlan 2

[RouterA-Ethernet2/0/1]  quit
 
LACP configuration:

Static LACP mode:

Devices that are directly connected through an Eth-Trunk can support LACP, by running the mode lacp-
static command you can configure the Eth-Trunk to work in static LACP mode. This mode can implement both
load balancing and redundancy.

LACP Dynamic mode:

When a server is connected to a file server over the device that has an Eth-Trunk configured, one is able to run
the mode lacp-dynamic command on the device to configure its Eth-Trunk to work in dynamic mode.

LLDP configuration example:

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a standard Layer 2 topology discovery protocol defined in IEEE 802.1ab. LLDP
allows a device to send local management information such as management IP address, device ID, and port ID to neighbors.
LLDP provides a standard link-layer discovery method. Layer 2 information obtained through LLDP allows the NMS (Network
Management System) to detect the topology of neighboring devices. Details, such as device capabilities or device identity can
be advertised using this protocol.

Let’s take a look at LLDP configuration example for Huawei.

Enabling global LLDP on Switch:

<Switch>system-view

[Switch]lldp enable
 

Interval for sending LLDP packets- When the LLDP status of a device keeps unchanged, the device sends LLDP packets to its
neighbors at a certain interval. The value of interval ranges from 5 to 32768. Increasing the value of interval is not restricted by
the value of delay.

Delay in sending LLDP packets- If the device status changes frequently, a delay is required before the device sends an LLDP
packet to its neighbors. The value of delay ranges from 1 to 8192. Decreasing the value of delay is not restricted by the value
of interval.

Hold time multiplier of device information on neighbors- The hold time multiplier is used to calculate the Time to Live (TTL),
which determines how long device information can be saved on the neighbors. You can specify the hold time of device
information on the neighbors. After receiving an LLDP packet, a neighbor updates the aging time of the device information
from the sender based on the TTL.

The storage time calculation formula is: TTL = Min (65535, (interval x hold)).

To configure the interval for sending LLDP packets Run:

lldp message-transmission interval interval

Note: The default interval for sending LLDP packets is 30 seconds.

To delay in sending LLDP packets in Run:

lldp message-transmission delay delay

 

To delay in sending LLDP packets in Run:

lldp message-transmission delay delay

Note: The default delay in sending LLDP packets is 2 seconds.

To configure the hold-multiplier of device stored on neighbors Run:

lldp message-transmission hold-multiplier hold

Note: The default hold time multiplier is 4
