This dialog enables you to activate/deactivate the function for Topology
Recognition (LLDP) and to display the LLDP information received in the form
of a table.
7.4.1

LLDP Information from Neighbor Devices

The table on the "LLDP" tab page shows you the collected LLDP information
for neighboring devices. This information enables the network management
station to map the structure of your network.
Activating "Display FDB entries" below the table allows you to add entries for
devices without active LLDP support to the table. In this case, the device also
includes information from its FDB (forwarding database).
The table shows you which LLDP-MED information the device received on
its ports from other devices.
