LLDP Function Overview
Defined by IEEE 802.11AB, LLDP is an OSI Layer 2 Protocol that standardizes the methodology of self-identity
advertisement. It allows each networking device, e.g. a Moxa managed switch, to periodically inform its
neighbors about its self-information and configurations. As a result, all of the devices would have knowledge
about each other; and through SNMP, this knowledge can be transferred to Moxa’s MXview for auto-topology
and network visualization.
LLDP Web Interface
From the switch’s web interface, users have the option of either enabling or disabling the LLDP, as well as
setting the LLDP transmit interval (as shown in the figure below). In addition, users are able to view each
switch’s neighbor-list, which is reported by its network neighbors. Most importantly, enabling the LLDP function
allows Moxa’s MXview to automatically display the network’s topology as well as system setup details such
asVLAN, and Trunking for the entire network.
