LLDP Mode

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is defined by IEEE standard 802.1ab and provides a standard method for discovering physical network devices and their capabilities within a given network management domain. LLDP-enabled network devices include access points and bridges, and LLDP enables these devices to:

Advertise device information and capabilities to other devices in the management domain.
Receive and store device information received from other network devices in the management domain.

LLDP-discovered information provides device information to SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) to ExtremeCloud, which can present the information in reports and topology maps.

When a switch is configured by ExtremeCloud, LLDP Receive and LLDP Transmit modes are automatically enabled on all ports.

The LLDP PDU is not configurable in ExtremeCloud.
