NETGEAR 24-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch with PoE+ and 2 SFP Ports Model GS724TPv2 Configure LLDP The IEEE 802.1AB-defined standard, Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), allows stations 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. This section contains the following subsections: • Configure LLDP Global Settings on page 71 • Configure LLDP Port Settings on page 73 • View LLDP-MED Network Policy Information on page 74 • Configure LLDP-MED Port Settings on page 76 • View Local LLDP Information on page 77 • View LLDP Neighbors Information on page 79 LLDP is a one-way protocol without any 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 or disabled separately per port. By default, both transmit and receive are enabled 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 Link Layer Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED) is an enhancement to LLDP with the following features: • Autodiscovery of LAN policies (such as VLAN, Layer 2 priority, and DiffServ settings), enabling plug and play networking. • Device location discovery for creation of location databases. • Extended and automated power management of Power over Ethernet endpoints. • Inventory management, enabling network administrators to track their network devices and determine their characteristics (manufacturer, software and hardware versions, serial/asset number). Configure LLDP Global Settings You can specify the global LLDP and LLDP-MED parameters that are applied to the switch. To configure global LLDP settings: 1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch. You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable. 2. Launch a web browser. 3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch. Configure System Information 71
