III-8-1. MONITORING LLDP
LLDP is Link Layer Discovery Protocol and it is a vendor-neutral layer 2 protocol that is defined by IEEE
802.1AB. LLDP is used in advertising identity of the devices, capabilities and neighbors on the LAN. The
information from the neighbors enables the switch to quickly identify the devices and interoperate with
each other more smoothly and efficiently. The neighbor table shows the information about the device
that is next to the port. The LLDP can only get information from the device that is close to it. If the users
want to know the topology of the LAN, they can collect all information from the device and analysis the
neighbor table.
