LINK LAYER DISCOVERY PROTOCOL (LLDP) COMMANDS
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the
appropriate parameters) in the following table.
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) specified in this standard allows stations attached to an 802 LAN to advertise
to other stations attached to the same 802 LAN the connectivity and management information necessary to identify to
those management entities the station's point of attachment to the 802 LAN. The information distributed via this protocol
is stored by its recipients in a standard management information base (MIB), making it possible for the information to be
accessed by a network management system (NMS) using a management protocol such as the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP)
