6.12 LLDP
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is defined in the IEEE802.1AB, it is an
emerging standard which provides a solution for the configuration issues caused by
expanding LANs. LLDP specifically defines a standard method for Ethernetnetwork
devices such as switches, routers and wireless LAN access points to advertise
information about themselves to other nodes on the network and store the
information they discover. LLDPruns on all 802 media. The protocol runs over the
data-link layer only, allowing two systems running different network layer protocols to
learn about each other.
