LLDP

The WR-ZEN devices support the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), which
functions at the link layer (Layer 2 of OSI model) to discover neighboring devices
and their capabilities.
7.3.1

Standard (IEEE 802.1AB-2005) TLVs

The WRZ-OS supports the mandatory and standard TLVs defined by the LLDP
(IEEE 802.1AB-2005) protocol as listed below:
Therefore, when a neighbor supports LLDP, the mentioned TLVs will be recol-
lected even if this neighbor does not run the WRZ-OS. The same apply in the
over way, and the standard TLVs shared by the WRZ-OS device should be prop-
erly retrieved by any LLDP compatible device.
7.3.2

Configuration

In order to stop sharing device information to neighbors, the user must disable
the LLDP protocol. By doing this, the device will also stop collecting information
from its peers. (A configuration per ports will be coming soon).
Disabling LLDP can be performed through the wrz_config tool in the CLI. Once
the tool is launched, the related parameter can be found under Management >
LLDP as shown below.
Figure 7-4:
Alternatively, the LLDP can be configured using the following parameters:
