Link Layer Discovery Protocol Configuration
Profile Network Configuration
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) or IEEE 802.1AB is a vendor-neutral Data Link Layer
protocol used by network devices for advertising of (announcing) identity, capabilities and
interconnections on a IEEE 802 LAN network. The protocol is formally referred to by the IEEE as
Station and Media Access Control Connectivity Discovery. Both LLDP snooping and ability to
generate and transmit LLDP packets is provided.
Information obtained via CDP and LLDP snooping is available in the UI. Information obtained using
LLDP is provided by an Access Point during the adoption process, so the layer 2 device detected by
the Access Point can be used as a criteria in the provisioning policy.
To set a profile’s LLDP configuration:
1. Select Configuration > Profiles > Network.
2. Expand the Network menu to display its submenu options.
3. Select Link Layer Discovery Protocol.
