Link Layer Discovery Protocol (IEEE 802.1ab)

Release 3.6 software supports the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
(IEEE 802.1ab), which allows stations connected to a LAN to advertise their
capabilities to each other, enabling the discovery of physical topology information
for network management. LLDP-compatible stations can consist of any
interconnection device including PCs, IP Phones, switches, and routers. Each
LLDP station stores LLDP information in a standard Management Information
Base (MIB), making it possible for the information to be accessed by a network
management system (NMS) or application.
Each LLDP station:
