Description

When changing lldp management-address before the inet interface, the SNMP MIB will not be updated correctly on Remote station (lldpRemManAddr).

Symptoms

When changing the lldp management-address, before changing the L3 address on the physical port, snmp on the remote switch does not update correctly even though the cli "show lldp neighbors interface ge-0/0/0" sees the updated lldp remote management address.

juniper@Wade-ASP# run show snmp mib walk lldpMIB |match lldpLocManAddr

lldpLocManAddrLen.1.10.203.203.1 = 5                                                                            <<<<< Local address change good

lldpLocManAddrIfId.1.10.203.203.1 = 240
lldpLocManAddrOID.1.10.203.203.1 = ifName.240



Now go to the remote switch to see what it received as Switch1's management address:

Solution

Workaround:

Either set the inet interface first for the new address before setting lldp managment-address, or bounce the interface.

Problem Report:
PR/534138 - LLDP MIB does not update RemManAddr if address is changed
  -- When changing lldp management-address before the inet interface, the SNMP MIB will not be updated correctly on Remote station (lldpRemManAddr).
