Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
Overview
The link layer discovery 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 Dell Fore10 operating software (FTOS) implementation of LLDP is based on IEEE
standard 802.1ab.
LLDP Commands
This chapter contains the following commands, in addition to the commands:
•
clear lldp counters
•
debug lldp interface
•
protocol lldp (Configuration)
•
protocol lldp (Interface)
•
show lldp neighbors
•
show lldp statistics
The starting point for using LLDP is invoking LLDP with the
protocol lldp
command in either
CONFIGURATION or INTERFACE mode.
The information distributed by LLDP is stored by its recipients in a standard management information
base (MIB). The information can be accessed by a network management system through a
management protocol such as SNMP.
For details about implementing LLDP/LLDP-MED, refer to the Link Layer Discovery Protocol
chapter of the
Dell PowerEdge Configuration Guide for the M I/O Aggregator
.
clear lldp counters
