2-4 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.
2-4.1 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 System, LLDP and 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.
