4.11. Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is used to discover basic information about
neighboring devices on the local broadcast domain. LLDP is a Layer 2 protocol that uses
periodic broadcasts to advertise information about the sending device. Advertised information
is represented in Type Length Value (TLV) format according to the IEEE 802.1AB standard,
and can include details such as device identification, capabilities and configuration settings.
LLDP also defines how to store and maintain information gathered about the neighboring
network nodes it discovers.
LLDP Configuration
Use the LLDP Configuration page to set the timing attributes used for the transmission of
LLDP advertisements, and the device information which is advertised.
