Link Layer Discovery Protocol Configuration
Profile Network Configuration
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) provides a standard way for a controller or access point to
advertise information about themselves to networked neighbors and store information they
discover from their peers.
LLDP is neighbor discovery protocol that defines a method for network access devices using
Ethernet connectivity to advertise information about them to peer devices on the same physical
LAN and store information about the network. It allows a device to learn higher layer management
and connection endpoint information from adjacent devices.
Using LLDP, an access point is able to advertise its own identification, capabilities and
media-specific configuration information and learn the same information from connected peer
devices.
LLDP information is sent in an Ethernet frame at a fixed interval. Each frame contains one Link
Layer Discovery Protocol Data Unit (LLDP PDU). A single LLDP PDU is transmitted in a single 802.3
Ethernet frame.
To set the LLDP configuration:
1. Select the Configuration tab from the Web UI.
Enable CDP Select this option to enable CDP and allow for network address discovery of Cisco supported
devices and operating system version. This setting is enabled by default.
Hold Time Set a hold time (in seconds) for the transmission of CDP packets. Set a value from 10 - 1,800. The
default setting is 1,800 seconds.
Timer Use the spinner control to set the interval for CDP packet transmissions. The default setting is 60
seconds.
