LLDP overview 8

Network connectivity device – A forwarding 802 LAN device, such as a router, switch, or wireless

access point.

Station – A node in a network.

TLV (Type-Length-Value) – An information element in an LLDPDU that describes the type of

information being sent, the length of the information string, and the value (actual information) that

will be transmitted.

TTL (Time-to-Live) – Specifies the length of time that the receiving device should maintain the

information acquired through LLDP in its MIB.

LLDP overview

LLDP enables a station attached to an IEEE 802 LAN/MAN to advertise its capabilities to, and to

discover, other stations in the same 802 LAN segments.

The information distributed by LLDP (the advertisement) is stored by the receiving device in a

standard Management Information Base (MIB), accessible by a Network Management System

(NMS) using a management protocol such as the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

The information also can be viewed from the CLI, using show LLDP commands.
