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

*Note: Chassis ID and Port ID are always advertised when LLDP is enabled.
