5 - 316 WiNG 5.6 Access Point System Reference Guide
LLDP is neighbor discovery protocol that defines a method for network access devices using Ethernet connectivity to advertise
information about them to peer devices on the same physical LAN and store information about the network. It allows a device
to learn higher layer management and connection endpoint information from adjacent devices.
Using LLDP, an access point is able to advertise its own identification, capabilities and media-specific configuration information
and learn the same information from connected peer devices.
LLDP information is sent in an Ethernet frame at a fixed interval. Each frame contains one Link Layer Discovery Protocol Data
Unit (LLDP PDU). A single LLDP PDU is transmitted in a single 802.3 Ethernet frame.
To override a profile’s LLDP configuration:
1. Select Devices from the Configuration tab.
2. Select Device Overrides from the Device menu to expand it into sub menu options.
3. Select a target device from the device browser in the lower, left-hand, side of the UI.
4. Select Network to expand its sub menu options.
5. Select Link Layer Discovery Protocol.

6. Set the following LLDP parameters for the profile configuration:
7. Select the OK button to save the changes and overrides to the LLDP configuration. Select Reset to revert to the last saved
configuration.
Enable LLDP Select this option to enable LLDP on the access point. LLDP is enabled by default. When
enabled, an access point advertises its identity, capabilities and configuration information
to connected peers and learns the same from them.
Hold Time Use the spinner control to set the hold time (in seconds) for transmitted LLDP PDUs. Set a
value from 10 - 1,800. The default hold time is 180 seconds.
Timer Set the interval used to transmit LLDP PDUs. Define an interval from 5 - 900 seconds. The
default setting is 60 seconds.
