 Network
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) or IEEE 802.1AB is a vendor-neutral Data Link Layer protocol used by network devices
for advertising of (announcing) their identity, capabilities, and interconnections on a IEEE 802 LAN network. The protocol is
formally referred to by the IEEE as Station and Media Access Control Connectivity Discovery.
To view a network’s Link Layer Discovery Protocol statistics:
1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
2. Select System from the navigation pane (on the left-hand side of the screen). Expand a RF Domain and select one of its
connected access points.
3. Select Network and expand the menu to reveal its sub menu items.
4. Select Link Layer Discovery.
