Configuring for Network Management Applications

LLDP (Link-Layer Discovery Protocol)

To standardize device discovery on all ProCurve switches, LLDP has been

implemented while offering limited read-only support for CDP as

documented in this manual. For current information on your switch model,

consult the latest Release Notes (available on the ProCurve Networking web

site). If LLDP has not yet been implemented (or if you are running an older

version of software), consult a previous version of the Management and

Configuration Guide for device discovery details.

Table 12-3. LLDP Features

LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol): provides a standards-based

method for enabling the switches covered in this guide to advertise themselves

to adjacent devices and to learn about adjacent LLDP devices.

An SNMP utility can progressively discover LLDP devices in a network by:

1. Reading a given device’s Neighbors table (in the Management Information

Base, or MIB) to learn about other, neighboring LLDP devices.

2. Using the information learned in step 1 to find and read the neighbor

devices’ Neighbors tables to learn about additional devices, and so on.
