6.7 Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
The IEEE 802.1ab Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a unidirectional protocol
that uses the MAC layer to transmit specific information about the capabilities and
status of the local device. The LLDP can send as well as receive information from a
remote device stored in the related MIB (or MIBs).
The LLDP does not contain a mechanism to solicit information received from other
LLDP agents or to confirm the receipt of information. However, LLDP provides the
flexibility to enable a transmitter and receiver separately, and the following LLDP
agent configurations are allowed:
• only transmit information
• only receive information
• transmit and receive information
The information fields in each LLDP frame are contained in an LLDP Data Unit
(LLDPDU) as a sequence of variable length information elements. Each information
element includes Type, Length, and Value fields (TLVs).
