LLDP Switch Port Connectivity

The Topology diagram displays the selected AP port connection to one or more switches, which are connected to ExtremeCloud IQ Controller. The diagram (shown in Topology Map representing LLDP Port Connectivity) represents the relationship between an AP, a switch, and ExtremeCloud IQ Controller, displaying the link speed between the AP ports and the switch ports, and connection status with ExtremeCloud IQ Controller.

Topology Map Legend describes each Topology Map icon with status.

Note

If the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is not enabled on the switch, LLDP data is not available.

The AP reports switch port connection details to ExtremeCloud IQ Controller. Reported properties include the following:

AP

The AP reports the AP Name and Power Source. Power Source values include normal and restricted levels for the following:

Switch

When both LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) and TLV (Type Length Value) advertisement are enabled, the switch reports the Switch Port and System Name. If only the LLDP is enabled, the switch Port Number displays. If the LLDP is not enabled on the switch, the switch is a gray icon.

ExtremeCloud IQ Controller

ExtremeCloud IQ Controller reports the controller Connectivity Status and IP address.

The connection status is indicated as follows:

Green

A green lightning icon with a green icon border indicates that the AP power level is normal.
A green shield on the controller indicates that an AP secure tunnel is enabled for the AP connection to ExtremeCloud IQ Controller.
A green line indicates that the port speed between the AP and switch is the maximum AP port speed. Refer to Port Speeds per Access Point.

Yellow

A yellow lightning icon with a yellow icon border indicates that the AP power level is low.
A yellow line indicates that the port speed between the AP and switch is less than the maximum AP port speed. Refer to Port Speeds per Access Point.

Red

A red shield on the controller indicates that an AP secure tunnel is disabled for the AP connection to ExtremeCloud IQ Controller.

Table 1. Port Speeds per Access Point
AP Model	Port 1	Port 2
AP3xx	1Gb (PoE)	1Gb
AP4xx	2.5Gb (PoE)	1Gb
AP505	2.5Gb (PoE)	1Gb
AP510i/e, AP510-1i, AP560i/h	5Gb (PoE)	1Gb (PoE)
AP4000	2.5Gb (PoE)	1Gb

Note

The Topology map is not supported on AP39xx access points.

Note

If you have configured the selected AP on an associated floor plan, you can view the selected AP on the floor plan map from here. Select Map to view the selected AP on the floor plan. For more information, see Floor Plan View.
