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 Configuration" on page 2-23 • "LLDP Port Settings" on page 2-24 • "Local Information" on page 2-27 • "Neighbors Information" on page 2-30 LLDP Configuration Use the LLDP Configuration page to specify LLDP parameters that are applied to the switch.
