LLDP (Link-Layer Discovery Protocol)

LLDP (Link-Layer Discovery Protocol)

To standardize device discovery on all ProCurve switches, LLDP will be implemented while offering limited read-only support for CDP as documented in this manual. For the latest information on your switch model, consult the Release Notes (available on the ProCurve Networking web site). If LLDP has not yet been implemented (or if you are running an older version of software), consult a previous version of the Management and Configuration Guide for device discovery details.

LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol): provides a standards-based method for enabling the switches covered in this guide to advertise themselves to adjacent devices and to learn about adjacent LLDP devices.
