How can I enable global LLDP via command line?

Hello,   I am installing new boxes and don't have access to the GUI. How can I enable LLDP via tmsh? I imagine I can then hop on Cisco switches and validate F5's are properly cabled and connected....

do you see lldp packet?

e.g.

 config

root@(B6900-R69-S40)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list net lldp-globals all-properties
net lldp-globals {
    enabled
    max-neighbors-per-port 10
    reinit-delay 2
    tx-delay 2
    tx-hold 4
    tx-interval 30
}

 tcpdump
