Monitor: LLDP
Overview
This section provides information for LLDP in Monitor.
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), defined as IEEE 802.1ab, enables LAN devices that support LLDP to exchange their configured settings. This helps eliminate configuration mismatch issues.
LLDP Settings
This link takes you to a screen where you can view LLDP on the Switch. LLDP allows a network device to advertise its identity and capabilities on the local network. It also allows the device to maintain and store information from adjacent devices which are directly connected to the network device.
Statistics Settings
Use this screen to view the Switch’s LLDP global and port statistics. Click Monitor > LLDP > Statistics.
Each field is described in the following table.
