Enabling or disabling LLDP
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) uses periodic broadcasts to advertise device information over the
network and discover neighboring devices. This protocol operates by establishing a distributed database
and gathering information from neighboring ports connected by a network link.
