--- | --- | ---
config dictionary |  | A dictionary of LLDP options
| interval integer | Default: 30 | Frequency at which LLDP advertisements are sent (in seconds). By default - 30 seconds.
| tlv_select dictionary |  | This attribute can be used to specify the TLVs that need to be sent in the LLDP packets. By default, only system name and system description is sent
|  | management_address boolean | Choices: no yes | Used to specify the management address in TLV messages
|  | port_description boolean | Choices: no yes | Used to specify the port description TLV
|  | system_capabilities boolean | Choices: no yes | Used to specify the system capabilities TLV
|  | system_description boolean | Choices: no yes ← | Used to specify the system description TLV
|  | system_name boolean | Choices: no yes ← | Used to specify the system name TLV
state string | Choices: merged ← replaced deleted | The state of the configuration after module completion.

## Notes

Note

- Tested against Extreme Networks EXOS version 30.2.1.8 on x460g2.
- This module works with connection `httpapi`. See EXOS Platform Options
