Hi Jaggy ,

 

When LLDP is confgured  the ip address selection is based on the following points .

  • IPv4 and IPv6 management addresses—In general, both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses will be advertised if they are available, and preference is given to the address that is configured on the transmitting interface.

     

  • If the transmitting interface does not have a configured address, then the TLV will be populated with an address from another interface. The advertised LLDP IP address is implemented according to the following priority order of IP addresses for interfaces on the router:

    • Locally configured address --------- local LDP interface ip 

    • MgmtEth0/RP0/CPU0/0

    • MgmtEth0/RP0/CPU0/1

    • Loopback interfaces

      There are some differences between IPv4 and IPv6 address management in LLDP:

  • For IPv4, as long as the IPv4 address is configured on an interface, it can be used as an LLDP management address.

  • For IPv6, after the IPv6 address is configured on an interface, the interface status must be Up and pass the DAD (Duplicate Address Detection) process before it is can be used as an LLDP management address.

So if you want to have a loopback ip (which has lowest priortiy ) for lldp advertisement then you can try to   assign the ip address via "ipv4 unnumbered loopback"  on specefic LLDP  physical interface  (on MGMT interface we cannot try this method ).

 

This will force to  pick the loopback as the LLDP advertisement ip as shown below  .

 

for example : 

ASR-TEST1  Hu 0/0/0/23 ---------lldp ----------- Hu 0/0/0/16  ASR-TEST2

 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ASR-TEST1#sh int loop 0

Hi ntikader,

 

Thanks for explanation, what about the lldp address behaviour on switch?
