Displaying LLDP Remote Information Details

Use the LLDP Remote Information Details screen to display detailed information
about an LLDP-enabled device connected to a specific port on the local switch.

Field Attributes
Local Port – The local port to which a remote LLDP-capable device is attached.
Chassis Type – Identifies the chassis containing the IEEE 802 LAN entity

associated with the transmitting LLDP agent. There are several ways in which a
chassis may be identified and a chassis ID subtype is used to indicate the type of
component being referenced by the chassis ID field. (See Table 3-15, ’Chassis ID
Subtype," on page 3-244.)

Chassis ID – An octet string indicating the specific identifier for the particular

chassis in this system.

Port Type – Indicates the basis for the identifier that is listed in the Port ID field.

Port Description – A string that indicates the port’s description. If RFC 2863 is

implemented, the ifDescr object should be used for this field.

Port ID – A string that contains the specific identifier for the port from which this

LLDPDU was transmitted.

System Name – An string that indicates the system’s assigned name.
System Description – A textual description of the network entity.
System Capabilities Supported – The capabilities that define the primary

function(s) of the system. (See Table 3-16, ’System Capabilities," on page 3-245.)

System Capabilities Enabled – The primary function(s) of the system which are

currently enabled. (See Table 3-16, ’System Capabilities," on page 3-245.)

Management Address – The IPv4 address of the remote device. If no

management address is available, the address should be the MAC address for the
CPU or for the port sending this advertisement.
