The IEEE 802.1ab Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) standard allows stations attached to an IEEE
802 LAN to advertise, to other stations attached to the same IEEE 802 LAN, the major capabilities
provided by the system incorporating that station, the management address or addresses of the entity or
entities that provide management of those capabilities, and the identification of the stations point of
attachment to the IEEE 802 LAN required by those management entity or entities. The information
distributed via this protocol is stored by its recipients in a standard Management Information Base (MIB),
making it possible for the information to be accessed by a Network Management System (NMS) using a
management protocol such as the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

” displays.
The columns hold the following information:
Local Port
The port on which the LLDP frame was received.
Chassis ID

00-C0-F2-00-00-01
).
Port ID
The identification of the neighbour port (e.g.,
