6.24 LLDP Configuration
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is defined in the IEEE 802.1AB, it is an emerging
standard which provides a solution for the configuration issues caused by expanding
LANs. LLDP specifically defines a standard method for Ethernet network devices such
as switches, routers and wireless LAN access points to advertise information about
themselves to other nodes on the network and store the information they discover. LLDP
runs on all 802 media. The protocol runs over the data-link layer only, allowing two
systems running different network layer protocols to learn about each other.
„ LLDP Protocol: Pull down the selection menu to disable or enable LLDP function.
„ LLDP Interval: Set the interval of advertising the switch’s information to other nodes.
