None
Return Values:

Depending on the specific language that HLTAPI uses, the function returns a keyed list/dictionary/hash (See Introduction for more information on return value formats) using the following keys (with corresponding data):

SUCCESS
     {{status 1} {handle XXX}}

FAILURE
     {{status 0} {log XXX}}
Description:

The emulation lldp config command configures LLDP emulation on the specified test port. This command can create, modify, and delete an emulated LLDP router and resets optional TLVs on a Spirent HLTAPI chassis.

In create mode, you can create and configure one or more routers with LLDP protocol. And the handle of LLDP router will be returned. The LLDP devices can be further configured in modify mode and removed in delete mode. You can modify only one router once, but you can create or delete one or more routers at one time. Use the mode argument to specify the action to perform.(See the mode argument description for information about the actions.)

If the performed action fails, Spirent HLTAPI returns an error message. For example, if the user tries to configure a nonexistent session handle in modify mode, Spirent HLTAPI will return an error message.

Examples:

To create and configure a new LDP router:

#There must be a port with the handle of port_handle1. The following
#examples use the port with the handle of port_handle1.

                       intf_ipv6_addr= 2000::100]

  set lldpRouterHandle [lindex [keylget returnKlist handle] 0]

To modify the created LLDP router(s):

set returnKlist [::emulation lldp config handle=$lldpRouterHandle
                    msg_tx_interval= 5
                    mode= modify]

To reset optional TLVs in the created LLDP router:

set returnKlist [::emulation lldp config handle=$lldpRouterHandle
                   mode= reset_tlv]

To delete the created LLDP router:

set returnKlist [::emulation lldp config handle=$lldpRouterHandle
                   mode= delete]

Sample output:

{{status 1} {handle $lldpRouterHandle}}

Description:

The emulation lldp info function provides information about devices specified for the LLDP configuration.

This function returns the requested data and a status value (1 for success). If there is an error, the function returns the status value (0) and an error message. Function return values are formatted as a keyed list (supported by the Tcl extension software - TclX). Use the TclX function keylget to retrieve data from the keyed list. (See Return Values for a description of each key.)

Examples:

Assume we already have the LLDP device handle lldpRouterHandle:

emulation ldp info mode=lldp
handle= $lldpRouterHandle

Sample output:

{{status 1} {handle $lldpRouterHandle}}
