Enable or disable enhanced TLV support using REST APIs

Enabling or disabling the enableRichTLV parameter determines the information that is advertised in the Chassis ID TLV of LLDP frames sent out by an interconnect. Modifying this parameter impacts any service that queries this information for network topology information, for example attempting to derive network topology based on the contents of LLDPDUs.

Prerequisites

  • Minimum required session ID privileges: Infrastructure administrator

  • Virtual Connect 4.30 or higher installed on the interconnect
