LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) is an industry standard protocol
|
|
designed to supplant proprietary Link-Layer protocols such as
|
|
Extreme's EDP (Extreme Discovery Protocol) and CDP (Cisco Discovery
|
|
Protocol). The goal of LLDP is to provide an inter-vendor compatible
|
|
mechanism to deliver Link-Layer notifications to adjacent network
|
|
devices.
|
|
|
|
lldpd implements both reception and sending. It also implements an
|
|
SNMP subagent for net-snmp to get local and remote LLDP
|
|
information. The LLDP MIB is partially implemented but the most useful
|
|
tables are here. lldpd also partially implements LLDP-MED.
|
|
|
|
lldpd supports bridge, vlan and bonding. Bonding need to be done on
|
|
real physical devices, not on bridges, vlans, etc. However, vlans can
|
|
be mapped on the bonding device. You can bridge vlan but not add vlans
|
|
on bridges. More complex setups may give false results.
