LLDP

For discovery of Cisco Small Business products, Cisco provides a utility that works through a simple
Note
toolbar on the web browser called FindIt. This utility discovers Cisco devices in the network and displays
basic information, such as serial numbers and IP addresses. For more information and to download the
utility, visit www.cisco.com/go/findit.
To enable Discovery Bonjour, follow these steps:
Step 1 Select System Configuration > Discovery-Bonjour.
Step 2 Check Enable, to enable Discovery-Bonjour globally. (It is enabled by default).
Step 3
Check Apply.

LLDP

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a vendor-neutral protocol in the Internet Protocol Suite used
by network devices for advertising their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on an IEEE 802 local area network.
The LLDP information is sent by the device's interface at a fixed interval, in the form of an Ethernet frame.
Each frame contains one LLDP Data Unit (LLDPDU). Each LLDPDU is a sequence of type-length-value
(TLV) structure.
To configure LLDP, follow these steps:
Step 1 Select System Configuration > LLDP.
Step 2 In the LLDP section, check Enable. (It is enabled by default).
Step 3 In the LLDP Port Setting Table, check Enable LLDP to enable LLDP on an interface.
Step 4
Click Apply.
Step 5 In the LLDP Neighbors Setting Table, the following information is displayed:
• Local Port — Port identifier.
• Chassis ID Subtype — Type of chassis ID (for example, MAC address).
• Chassis ID — Identifier of the chassis. Where the chassis ID subtype is a MAC address, the MAC address of the
device is displayed.
• Port ID Subtype — Type of the port identifier.
• Port ID — Port identifier.
• System Name — Name of the device.
• Time to Live — Rate in seconds at which LLDP advertisement updates are sent.
