LLDP
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a unidirectional neighbor discovery protocol
(as per IEEE 802.1AB).
LLDP performs periodic transmissions of the system's capabilities to the connected
stations. LLDP frames are not forwarded, but are constrained to a single link. The
information distributed by the protocol is stored in a topology data base. This
information can be retrieved by the user in order to easily resolve the network’s
physical topology and its associated stations.
LLDP enables the discovery of accurate physical network topologies, meaning which
devices are neighbors and through which ports they connect. It enables the system to
discover other network elements that are connected to it, including the discovery of
third-party network elements, and enables easier integration of slinks in an LLDP
supported networks.
Note that LLDP support depends on product’s specs and SW release.

LLDP Configuration
Figure 7-14 Network Page: LLDP Configuration
LLDP can be configured for each one of the Ethernet ports, including the radio port
(Eth0). LLDP information may be sent over VLAN or without VLAN (untagged).
This section allows configuring the following parameters:
Port – Eth0 (RF), Eth1 (1GE), Eth2 (10GE)
Config – enabling LLDP on the port. Select
rx-tx
to enable LLDP. Note that you
may work with uni-directional LLDP by selecting
rx
or
tx
only.
