Configuring LLDP
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) allows troubleshooting and enhancing network management by discovering and
maintaining network topologies over multi-vendor environments. LLDP discovers network neighbors by standardizing
methods for network devices to advertise themselves to other systems, and to store discovered information. Device
discovery information includes:
Device Identification
Device Capabilities
Device Configuration
The advertising device transmits multiple advertisement message sets in a single LAN packet. The multiple advertisement
sets are sent in the packet Type Length Value (TLV) field. LLDP devices must support chassis and port ID advertisement,
as well as system name, system ID, system, description, and system capability advertisements.
This section contains information for configuring LLDP parameters, and includes the following topics:
 Defining LLDP Global Settings
 Defining LLDP Port Settings
 Defining LLDP Basic TLV Settings
 Defining LLDP Dot3 TLV Settings
 Viewing LLDP Local Port Information
 Viewing LLDP Remote Port Information
