LACP
LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) is an IEEE 802.3ad standard protocol that allows bundling several physical ports together to form a sin-
gle logical port.
LLC
The IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) protocol provides a link mechanism for upper layer protocols. It is the upper sub-layer of the Data Link
Layer and provides multiplexing mechanisms that make it possible for several network protocols (e.g. IP and IPX) to coexist within a multipoint net-
work. The LLC header consists of a 1-byte DSAP (Destination Service Access Point), a 1-byte SSAP (Source Service Access Point), a 1 or 2-byte
Control field followed by LLC information or the payload from a higher level protocol.
LLDP
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) specified in the IEEE 802.1ab standard allows stations attached to an IEEE 802 LAN to advertise, to
other stations attached to the same IEEE 802 LAN, the major capabilities provided by the system incorporating that station, the management
address or addresses of the entity or entities that provide management of those capabilities, and the identification of the stations point of attach-
ment to the IEEE 802 LAN required by those management entity or entities. The information distributed via this protocol is stored by its recipients
in a standard Management Information Base (MIB), making it possible for the information to be accessed by a Network Management System
(NMS) using a management protocol such as the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
LLDP-MED
LLDP-MED is an extension of IEEE 802.1ab and is defined by the telecommunication industry association (TIA-1057).
LOC
LOC is an acronym for Loss Of Connectivity and is detected by a MEP and is indicating lost connectivity in the network. LOC can be used as a
switch criteria by EPS.
