Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
This chapter describes how to configure and use the link layer discovery protocol (LLDP).
802.1AB (LLDP) Overview
LLDP — defined by IEEE 802.1AB — is a protocol that enables a local area network (LAN) device to advertise its configuration and
receive configuration information from adjacent LLDP-enabled LAN infrastructure devices.
The collected information is stored in a management information base (MIB) on each device, and is accessible via simple network
management protocol (SNMP).
Protocol Data Units
Configuration information is exchanged in the form of Type, Length, Value (TLV) segments.
•
Type — The kind of information included in the TLV.
•
Length — The value, in octets, of the TLV after the Length field.
•
Value — The configuration information that the agent is advertising.
The chassis ID TLV is shown in the following illustration.
Figure 77. Type, Length, Value (TLV) Segment
TLVs are encapsulated in a frame called an LLDP data unit (LLDPDU) (shown in the following table), which is transmitted from one
LLDP-enabled device to its LLDP-enabled neighbors. LLDP is a one-way protocol. LLDP-enabled devices (LLDP agents) can transmit
and/or receive advertisements, but they cannot solicit and do not respond to advertisements.
There are five types of TLVs. All types are mandatory in the construction of an LLDPDU except Optional TLVs. You can configure the
inclusion of individual Optional TLVs.
