Displaying LLDP
Remote Device
Information
Use the Administration > LLDP (Show Remote Device Information) page to display
information about devices connected directly to the switch’s ports which are
advertising information through LLDP, or to display detailed information about an
LLDP-enabled device connected to a specific port on the local switch.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
Port
◆ Local Port – The local port to which a remote LLDP-capable device is attached.
◆ Chassis ID – An octet string indicating the specific identifier for the particular
chassis in this system.
◆ Port ID – A string that contains the specific identifier for the port from which
this LLDPDU was transmitted.
◆ System Name – A string that indicates the system’s administratively assigned
name.
Port Details
◆ Port – Port identifier on local switch.
◆ Remote Index – Index of remote device attached to this port.
◆ Local Port – The local port to which a remote LLDP-capable device is attached.
◆ Chassis Type – Identifies the chassis containing the IEEE 802 LAN entity
associated with the transmitting LLDP agent. There are several ways in which a
chassis may be identified and a chassis ID subtype is used to indicate the type
of component being referenced by the chassis ID field. (See Table 24, "Chassis
ID Subtype," on page 403.)
◆ Chassis ID – An octet string indicating the specific identifier for the particular
chassis in this system.
◆ System Name – A string that indicates the system’s assigned name.
◆ System Description – A textual description of the network entity.
◆ Port Type – Indicates the basis for the identifier that is listed in the Port ID field.
See Table 26, “Port ID Subtype,” on page 405.
◆ Port Description – A string that indicates the port’s description. If RFC 2863 is
implemented, the ifDescr object should be used for this field.
◆ Port ID – A string that contains the specific identifier for the port from which
this LLDPDU was transmitted.
