Description
This module installs and manages lldpd
which provides LLDP advertisements
to connected network devices.
RHEL/CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian and OpenBSD are supported using Puppet 4.6.0 or later.
Setup
Setup Requirements
On RHEL/CentOS platforms you will need to have access to the EPEL repository by using stahnma/epel or by other means.
Beginning with lldpd
In the very simplest case, applying the module will install and start the
lldpd
agent and enable LLDP advertisements:
include ::lldpd
Usage
If you want to also enable the Cisco Discovery Protocol, which comprises two versions, use the following:
class { '::lldpd':
enable_cdpv1 => true,
enable_cdpv2 => true,
}
Enabling the SNMP AgentX sub-agent can be done with:
class { '::lldpd':
enable_snmp => true,
snmp_socket => ['127.0.0.1', 705],
}
