  • 1.  LLDP not working when interface has ONLY interface description configured

    Posted 09-01-2023 09:06
    Tested with:
    Model: qfx5100-24q-2p
    Junos: 20.2R3-S2.5
    If the interface has no configuration (default state), and I only add interface description:
    root@juniper-virtual-chassis-QFX5100# show | display set | match 0/0/23:1
    set interfaces xe-0/0/23:1 description test
     
    LLDP is not working 
    {master:0}[edit]
    root@juniper-virtual-chassis-QFX5100# run show lldp neighbors interface xe-0/0/23:1
    I did also packet captures, and apparently switch does not send LLDP. Also, it does not process received LLDP.
    After I delete the interface description, LLDP works normally.
    This behaviour does not seem correct, looks like a bug

    I enabled LLDP logging on that interface:

    Those delete operations seem strange for a simple fact like adding a description on the interface

    What does this show before and after adding the interface description?

    show configuration | display inheritance | display set | match xe-0/0/23:1

    When no interface description is set, output is empty
     
    root@juniper-virtual-chassis-QFX5100> show configuration | display inheritance | display set | match xe-0/0/23:1
     
    {master:0}
     
    LLDP works
     
     
     
    When interface description is set 
     
    root@juniper-virtual-chassis-QFX5100> show configuration | display inheritance | display set | match xe-0/0/23:1
    set interfaces xe-0/0/23:1 description test
     
    {master:0}
     
     
    LLDP no longer works
     
    root@juniper-virtual-chassis-QFX5100> show lldp neighbors interface xe-0/0/23:1
     
    {master:0}

    One additional thing I noticed, after interface description is assigned, the interface is removed from LLDP local information output.
     
    Steps to reproduce:
     
    1. I deleted previous interface description on interface. LLDP works and interface appears in LLDP local information
     
     
    root@juniper-virtual-chassis-QFX5100# show | display set | match 0/0/23:1
     
    {master:0}[edit]
     
     
    Interface is visible in the lldp local info:
     
    root@juniper-virtual-chassis-QFX5100# run show lldp local-information | match 0/0/23:1
    xe-0/0/23:1         -                  519                test999                  Up               << previous description that was deleted. Description is advertised in LLDP an visible on the remote device
     
    {master:0}[edit]
     
     
     
    2. I add a new description to the interface 
     
     
    root@juniper-virtual-chassis-QFX5100# set interfaces xe-0/0/23:1 description new_test888
     
    {master:0}[edit]
    root@juniper-virtual-chassis-QFX5100# commit
    fpc0:
    configuration check succeeds
    fpc1:
    commit complete
    fpc0:
    commit complete
     
     
    Interface dissappears from lldp local-information 
     
    {master:0}[edit]
    root@juniper-virtual-chassis-QFX5100# run show lldp local-information | match 0/0/23:1
     
    {master:0}[edit]
     
     
    LLDP is no longer working: 
     
    root@juniper-virtual-chassis-QFX5100# run show lldp neighbors interface xe-0/0/23:1
     
    {master:0}[edit]
     
     
     
    even if LLDP is activated on all interfaces:
     
     
    run show lldp detail
     
    LLDP                      : Enabled
    Advertisement interval    : 30 seconds
    Transmit delay            : 2 seconds
    Hold timer                : 120 seconds
    Notification interval     : 5 Second(s)
    Config Trap Interval      : 0 seconds
    Connection Hold timer     : 300 seconds
     
    LLDP MED                  : Enabled
    MED fast start count      : 3 Packets
     
    Port ID TLV subtype       : interface-name
    Port Description TLV type : interface-alias (ifAlias)
     
    Interface      Parent Interface    LLDP        LLDP-MED     Power Negotiation     Neighbor count
    all            -                   Enabled     Enabled      Enabled               7                  <<<<
     
     
    I try to activate LLDP on that specific interface also:
     
     
    root@juniper-virtual-chassis-QFX5100# set protocols lldp interface xe-0/0/23:1
     
    {master:0}[edit]

    all            -                   Enabled     Enabled      Enabled               7               <<<  no update here
     
     
     
    3. I delete interface description 
     
    root@juniper-virtual-chassis-QFX5100# delete interfaces xe-0/0/23:1 description
     
    {master:0}[edit]
    root@juniper-virtual-chassis-QFX5100# commit

    {master:0}[edit]
     
     
    root@juniper-virtual-chassis-QFX5100# run show lldp local-information | match 0/0/23:1
