3-8 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.
3-8.1 LLDP Configuration
Per port, you can configure the LLDP and the detail parameters, and the settings will take
effect immediately. This page allows the user to inspect and configure the current LLDP port
settings.
Web Interface
To configure LLDP:
1.Click LLDP configuration.
2.Modify LLDP timing parameters.
3.Set the required mode for transmitting or receiving LLDP messages.
4.Specify the information to include in the TLV field of advertised messages.
5.Click Save.

LLDP Parameters
Tx Interval :
The switch periodically transmits LLDP frames to its neighbors for having the network
discovery information up-to-date. The interval between each LLDP frame is determined by
the Tx Interval value. Valid values are restricted to 5–32768 seconds.
