Link Layer Discovery Protocol

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), which is the defined in IEEE 802.1AB, lets devices
on a LAN advertise major capabilities and physical descriptions. You can view this
information to identify the system topology and detect problematic configurations in
the LAN.

LLDP is a one-way protocol without request and response sequences. Information is
advertised by devices that are configured to transmit LLDP and is received and processed
by devices that are configured to receive LLDP. You can enable and disable the transmit
and receive functions separately per port. By default, both transmit and receive functions
are disabled on all ports.
