From ac79d0d09a58251c4f235907ca5d744c7c1a8a4d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pierre Riteau Date: Thu, 8 Nov 2018 11:03:29 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Add note about LLDP workaround for switches on Dell OS 9.11 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The Dell LLDP workaround is not necessary on switches running newer versions of Dell Networking OS. Since version 9.11(2.0P1), the interface description can be advertised by LLDP, at least for S6000 and S3048–ON switches.
