The management IP address is carried in the management address TLV field of the LLDP packet. It is used by the NMS to identify and manage devices. A management address identifies a device, facilitating the layout of the network topology and network management. To allocate a management address to a neighbor, run the lldp management-address command.
The management address must be a legal unicast IP address of the device. If an invalid or no IP address is specified, the FW automatically finds an IP address and uses it as the LLDP management address. The finding order is: the smallest IP address of loopback interfaces, the smallest IP address of VLANIF interfaces, the smallest IP address of physical interfaces. If no IP address is found, the MAC address of the GE 0/0/0 is used as the management address.
