Parameters

These parameters are displayed:

Port

Local Port – The local port to which a remote LLDP-capable device is attached.

Chassis ID – An octet string indicating the specific identifier for the particular chassis in this
system.

Port ID – A string that contains the specific identifier for the port from which this LLDPDU was
transmitted.

System Name – A string that indicates the system’s administratively assigned name.

Port Details

Port – Port identifier on local switch.

Remote Index – Index of remote device attached to this port.

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 171

on page 920.)

Chassis ID – An octet string indicating the specific identifier for the particular chassis in this
system.

System Name – A string that indicates the system’s assigned name.

System Description – A textual description of the network entity.

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 Capabilities Supported – The capabilities that define the primary function(s) of the
system. (See

Table 172

on page 921.)
