LLDP
The IEEE 802.1AB defined standard, Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), allows stations
residing on an 802 LAN to advertise major capabilities and physical descriptions. This information
is viewed by a network manager to identify system topology and detect bad configurations on the
LAN.
LLDP is a one-way protocol; there are no request/response sequences. Information is advertised
by stations implementing the transmit function, and is received and processed by stations
implementing the receive function. The transmit and receive functions can be enabled/disabled
separately per port. By default, both transmit and receive are disabled on all ports. The application
is responsible for starting each transmit and receive state machine appropriately, based on the
configured status and operational state of the port.
The LLDP folder contains links to the following pages:
• “LLDP Global Configuration” on page 2-28
• “Interface Configuration” on page 2-29
• “LLDP Statistics” on page 2-31
• “Local Device Information” on page 2-32
• “Remote Device Information” on page 2-34
LLDP Global Configuration
Use the LLDP Global Configuration page to specify LLDP parameters that are applied to the
switch.
To display the LLDP Global Configuration page:
1. Click System > LLDP > Global Configuration in the navigation tree.
