Enable LLDP on Cisco 3750

[btedeschi]

Need to enable LLDP on a 3750 switch, but command will not take and receive, "invalid input detected". Reason LLDP needs to be turned is for 4 Meraki MR34 access points. MR34 is running in low power mode and Meraki support suggested enabling LLDP (lldp run from confg t mode), but it is not working. Also tried to enable LLDP on individual interfaces, but those commands will not work either. That is as far as Meraki will take it so hoping this support community can help. 3750 is running IOS version c3750-ipservicesk9-mz.122-25.SEE4. 

According to 3750 switch Power for the MR34s is 15.4W

Thanks in advance for any help provided.

Believe you need a newer IOS version for LLDP support.  (As Cisco has had CDP, they're a bit late supporting LLDP.)
