Configuration

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is defined in the IEEE 802.1AB, it is an emerging

standard which provides a solution for the configuration issues caused by expanding

LANs. LLDP specifically defines a standard method for Ethernet network devices such

as switches, routers and wireless LAN access points to advertise information about

themselves to other nodes on the network and store the information they discover. LLDP

runs on all 802 media. The protocol runs over the data-link layer only, allowing two

systems running different network layer protocols to learn about each other.

LLDP Protocol: Pull down the selection menu to disable or enable LLDP function.

LLDP Interval: Set the interval of advertising the switch’s information to other nodes.
