Enabling LLDP on iDRAC 8

I am looking to active lldp on idrac 8 server R630 and R730. I have tried the commands below and they all failed. I am unable to find the option in the iDRAC gui to manually modify the configuration. 

Failed Racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicEnable 1
failed racadm set /System/Network.LLDP.Enabled 1
Failed racadm set iDRAC.Network.LLDP.Enable 1
Failed racadm set /NIC.1/LlDPEnabled 1
failed racadm set iDRAC.NIC.TopologyLldp Enabled

Hello, 

How do I enable LLDP in iDRAC 8?

 

To enable or disable the feature, open the iDRAC console and navigate to iDRAC Settings > Connectivity > Network > Common Settings > Topology LLDP.

 

Could you open your DM box as well? https://www.dell.com/community/en/direct-messaging

The correct syntax should be

racadm set iDRAC.NIC.TopologyLldp 1
racadm set iDRAC.NIC.DiscoveryLLDP 1

which doesnt mean that i would be work on iDRAC8. For sure it works with iDRAC9 which means Gen14,15 and 16 Servers.

It might be possible that its not support with iDRAC8 on 13Gen Servers.
