In this detailed view you see information regarding the Transceiver and extended LLDP
information.
LLDP (Link Layer discovery protocol) is used by devices to advertise their identity to other
devices connected to the same network, also called neighbors. The devices identify
themselves by periodically sending out packets to its neighbouring devices. The packets
typically contain information such as, port name, capabilities, IP management addresses
etc. The Information gathered with the help of LLDP can be useful for troubleshooting
configuration problems within the network, or locate connected devices.
PTP Clocks
This section gives an overview of all PTP clocks that announce themselves on the network.
The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is used to precisely synchronize all clocks in a computer
network. Time is exchanged between the master and slave clocks, with intermediate
transparent- or boundary clocks which maintain the timing accuracy.
