6.12 LLDP
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is defined in the IEEE802.1AB, it is an
emerging standard which provides a solution for the configuration issues caused by
expanding LANs. LLDP specifically defines a standard method for Ethernetnetwork
devices such as switches, routers and wireless LAN access points to advertise
information about themselves to other nodes on the network and store the
information they discover. LLDPruns on all 802 media. The protocol runs over the
data-link layer only, allowing two systems running different network layer protocols to
learn about each other.
6.12.1 LLDP Configuration

Enabled
Enabled The switch will send out LLDP information, and will analyze LLDP
information received from neighbours.

Tx Interval
The switch periodically transmits LLDP frames to its neighbours for having the
network discovery information up-to-date. The interval between each LLDP frame is
determined by the Tx Interval value. Valid values are restricted to 5 - 32768 seconds.
The LLDP port settings relate to the currently selected stack unit, as reflected by the
page header.

Port No
The switch port number of the logical LLDP port.

Port Id
