Symptoms

Vlan Name and Vlan Tag values are not seen by the LLDP neighbors of the BIG-IP system.

Impact

LLDP Neighbors are unable to see VLAN information for the LLDP interfaces of the BIG-IP.

Conditions

1. LLDP is enabled globally and per interface. 2. Interfaces are added to a trunk after it has already been assigned to a VLAN. For instance, assume the following protocol were followed for creating an LLDP trunk: tmsh modify net lldp-globals enabled tmsh modify net interface 1.1 lldp-admin txrx lldp-tlvmap 114680 tmsh modify net interface 1.2 lldp-admin txrx lldp-tlvmap 114680 tmsh create net trunk myTrunk tmsh create net vlan myVlan tmsh modify net trunk myTrunk interfaces add { 1.1 1.2 } tmsh modify net vlan myVlan interfaces add { myTrunk } The neighbor to this BIG-IP unit would not see the Vlan Name and Vlan Tag information of this trunk because the interfaces were added after the trunk was already assigned to a VLAN.

Workaround

If the configuration has not yet been performed, the issue can be prevented by assigning all the desired interfaces to a trunk before assigning the trunk to a VLAN. If the problem already exists, it can be remedied by performing a restart of the LLDP service. This should not impact dataplane services outside of LLDP. To do so, run the following command: bigstart restart lldpd

Fix Information

VLANs are now properly applied to any interfaces added to a trunk if the trunk already belongs to any VLANs.
