UPM - Configure port dispay-string based on LLDP device system name

[Mark_Bayliss]

Hi,

We have a UPM device-detect profile in place and would like to configure the port display-string based on the device connected system name.

If we use the following to configure a generic name it works -

Configure port $EVENT.USER_PORT display-string "UPM-Moto-AP"

I would have thought the we would use $EVENT.SYSNAME however that didn't work

Also, are there any guides where we can better understand what variables we can use?

Cheers,

Mark

I misunderstood the question, LLDP, CDP (For Cisco)or EDP(For Extreme) would be the solution.

Can you explain how a "show switch" can configure the port display-string on the device connected system name.

[Sumit_Tokle]

Yes, above would be another way.

The case was to configure the display string of a port with the name of the device using LLDP. Is this the solution ?
