Component: SPCDIS
Resolution
Configure LLDP on the devices using the following configuration parameter:
snmp-server view NETENG-SNMP-VIEW 1.0.8802.1 included
After adding the above configuration parameter on the device, the model in Spectrum needs to be either deleted and recreated or reconfigured using the following steps:
1. Find and select the model in Spectrum
2. Right mouse click on the model and select Reconfiguration -> Rediscover SNMP MIBS from the menu
3. Right mouse click on the model and select Reconfiguration -> Reconfigure model
Spectrum will now recognize the device supports LLDP and use LLDP for connecting the models.
