22 Link Layer Detection Protocol (LLDP) Overview Link Layer Detection Protocol (LLDP) advertises connectivity and management from the local station to the adjacent stations on an IEEE 802 LAN. LLDP facilitates multi-vendor interoperability by using standard management tools to discover and make available a physical topology for network management. The FTOS implementation of LLDP is based on IEEE standard 801.1ab. The basic LLDP commands are supported by FTOS on all Dell Force10 systems, as indicated by the characters that appear below each command heading: • C-Series: c • E-Series: e • S-Series: s Commands This chapter contains the following commands, in addition to the commands in the related section - LLDP-MED Commands. • advertise dot1-tlv • advertise dot3-tlv • advertise management • clear lldp counters • clear lldp neighbors • debug lldp interface • disable • hello • mode • multiplier • protocol lldp (Configuration) • protocol lldp (Interface) • show lldp neighbors • show lldp statistics • show running-config lldp The starting point for using LLDP is invoking LLDP with the protocol lldp command in either the CONFIGURATION or INTERFACE mode.
