3-8 LLDP The switch supports the LLDP. For current information on your switch model, The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) provides a standards-based method for enabling switches to advertise themselves to adjacent devices and to learn about adjacent LLDP devices. The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a vendor-neutral Link Layer protocol in the Internet Protocol Suite used by network devices for advertising their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on a IEEE 802 local area network, principally wired Ethernet. The protocol is formally referred to by the IEEE as Station and Media Access Control Connectivity Discovery specified in standards document IEEE 802.1AB. 3-8.1 LLDP Configuration You can per port to do the LLDP configuration and the detail parameters, the settings will take effect immediately. This page allows the user to inspect and configure the current LLDP port settings. Web Interface To configure LLDP: 1.Click LLDP configuration 2.Modify LLDP timing parameters 3.Set the required mode for transmitting or receiving LLDP messages 4.Specify the information to include in the TLV field of advertised messages 5.Click Apply Figure 3-8.1: The LLDP Configuration 101
