Description
Hi all,
I'm currently running lldpad v1.1.1-3:
```
# rpm -qi lldpad

```
This is started up on boot by systemd, and it creates a config file in /var/lib/lldpad/lldpad.conf
After some configurations issued by lldptool, the lldpad.conf file looks complete:
```
# cat /root/lldpad.conf
lldp :
{
eno1 :
{
tlvid00000001 :
{
info = "0420040FEBE37C";
};
tlvid00000002 :
{
info = "05656E6F31";
subtype = 5;
};
adminStatus = 3;
tlvid00000005 :
{
enableTx = true;
};
tlvid00000004 :
{
enableTx = true;
};
};
#
```
Unfortunately, when I shut down, restart or even reload (SIGHUP) the lldpad daemon, it decides to kill all the content of the config file:
```
# cat /root/lldpad.conf
dcbx :
{
version = "1.0";
dcbx_version = 2;
};
nearest_customer_bridge :
{
};
nearest_nontpmr_bridge :
{
};
lldp :
{
};
#
```
Loading the daemon in debug mode, I can clearly see that it kills every port from the config file:
```
14:49:48.040432 In remove_port: Found port eno2
14:49:48.040442 In remove_port: Found port eno2
14:49:48.046431 In remove_config_device, remove eno2 from section nearest_customer_bridge
14:49:48.046546 In remove_config_device, remove eno2 from section nearest_nontpmr_bridge
14:49:48.046664 In remove_config_device, remove eno2 from section lldp
```
In my humble opinion, this seems due to the:
[https://github.com/intel/openlldp/commit/a75e35a0cb36817e42a69ac14d1785cc63341132
](https://github.com/intel/openlldp/commit/a75e35a0cb36817e42a69ac14d1785cc63341132)
Could you please give a look and let me know?
