The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) allows stations attached to an IE EE 8 02 LAN t o advert ise, t o oth er s tations
attached to the same IEEE 802 LAN. The major capabilities provided by this system is that it incorporat es the statio n,
the management address or addresses of the entity or entities that provide management of thos e capabiliti es, and the
identification of the station’s point of attachment to the IEEE 802 LAN req uired by those management entity or entities.
The information distributed via this protocol is stored by its recipients in a standard Manag ement Information Base
(MIB), making it possible for the information to be acc essed by a Network Management S ystem (NMS) through a
management protocol such as the Simple Network Management Protocol (SN MP).
