2-13 LLDP
The switch supports the LLDP. For current information on your switch model, The
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) provides a standards-based method for enabling
switches to advertise themselves to adjacent devices and to learn about adjacent LLDP
devices. The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a vendor-neutral Link Layer
protocol in the Internet Protocol Suite used by network devices for advertising their
identity, capabilities, and neighbors on a IEEE 802 local area network, principally wired
Ethernet. The protocol is formally referred to by the IEEE as Station and Media Access
Control Connectivity Discovery specified in standards document IEEE 802.1AB.
