Monitor: LLDP

14.1 Overview

This section provides information for LLDP in Monitor.

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), defined as IEEE 802.1ab, enables LAN devices that support LLDP to exchange their configured settings. This helps eliminate configuration mismatch issues.

The LLDP screen (Section 14.2 on page 81) displays statistics, remote information, and overloading.
