Switch Lldp Commands - ZyXEL Communications MSC1000G User Manual

33.9 switch lldp Commands

Use the
switch lldp
settings. LLDP allows a network device to advertise its identity and capabilities on the local
network. It also allows the device to maintain and store information from adjacent devices which
are directly connected to the network device. This helps an administrator discover network changes
and perform necessary network reconfiguration and management. The device information is
encapsulated in the LLDPDUs (LLDP data units) in the form of TLV (Type, Length, Value). Device
information carried in the received LLDPDUs is stored in the standard MIB.
