How to get a switch to show 'system-name' of connected device when issuing "show LLDP neighbors"?

[Jim_Keeffe]

I have a severa; BD8810 access-layer switches connect to a Summit distribution switch. All devices have LLDP enabled on their uplink ports such as:

8810 switch:
enable lldp port 5:1
configure lldp port 5:1 advertise system-name

Summit switch
enable lldp port 21
config lldp port 21 advertise system-name

'Show lldp neighbors' on either device gives this simple output format:

Port Neighbor Chassis-ID Neighbor Port ID TTL Age

The 'Neighbor Chassis-ID' is the MAC address of the connected device. However, I'd like to have the system name of the connected device displayed in the simple output format instead of the chassis-id. Otherwise I have to issue 'show lldp port 21 neighbor detail' to get the system-name.

Our Summit distribution switch will end up having uplinks to many 8810 access switches and I'd like to see all the 8810 system-names when issuing 'show lldp neighbors.'

Is this possible to do?

Thanks - EDP did the trick. I didn't even think of that!

If all are extreme switched then best way to see the Neighbouring Extreme device using the EDP protocol.

I don't think we can see the device name in show LLDP neighbors command output or I need to verify if there is any other way.

You could also achieve this by writing small script and call command such as "show lldp port neighbor detail" and extract what ever information you would like from that output.
