Configuration
The switch supports LLDP. For current information on your switch model, the Link
Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) provides a standards
-
based method. This method
enables switches to advertise themselves to adjacent devices and learn about
adjacent LLDP devices
.
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a vendor
-
neutral
Link Layer protocol in the Internet Protocol Suite. It is used by network devices to
advertise their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on a 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 set up the LLDP configuration and detail parameters
per port. The settings
will take effect immediately. This page allows the user to inspect and configure the
current LLDP port settings.
Web Interface
To configure LLDP:
1.
Click LLDP configuration.
2.
Modify LLDP timing parameters.
3.
Set the required mode for transmitting or receiving LLDP messages.
4.
