Port Configuration - LLDP Tab
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a neighbor discovery protocol,
which allows Ethernet network devices to search for, and request
information from, other LLDP enabled devices on the network. LLDP
defines a standard method for Ethernet network devices, such as
switches, routers, and wireless LAN access points, to advertise
information about themselves to other nodes on the network.
LLDP also allows Ethernet network devices to search for, and request
information from, other devices using the LLDP protocol.
The following details can be advertised using LLDP on the Avaya C360
device:
• System Name
• Chassis ID
• Port ID
• System Description
• System Capabilities
• Port Description
• Management Address
* Note: Chassis ID and Port ID are always advertised when
LLDP is enabled.
