port Default:
22
Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. The port value will default to the well known SSH port of 22 (for transport=cli) or port 830 (for transport=netconf) device.
state
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
  • enabled
  • disabled
Value of present ensures given LLDP configured on given interfaces and is enabled, for value of absent LLDP configuration on given interfaces deleted. Value enabled ensures LLDP protocol is enabled on given interfaces and for value of disabled it ensures LLDP is disabled on given interfaces.
