3-8.1 LLDP
Configuration
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 an 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.
You can do the LLDP configuration and the detail parameters per port. The settings
will take effect immediately. This page allows the user to inspect and configure the
current LLDP port settings.
