+LLDP
+----
+
+The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a vendor-neutral
+link layer protocol in the Internet Protocol Suite used by network devices for
+advertising their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on an IEEE 802 local
+area network, principally wired Ethernet.[1] The protocol is formally referred
+to by the IEEE as Station and Media Access Control Connectivity Discovery
+specified in IEEE 802.1AB and IEEE 802.3-2012 section 6 clause 79.
+
+LLDP performs functions similar to several proprietary protocols, such as
+`Cisco Discovery Protocol`_, `Foundry Discovery Protocol`_,
+Nortel Discovery Protocol and Link Layer Topology Discovery.
+
+Information gathered
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Information gathered with LLDP is stored in the device as a management
+information database (MIB_) and can be queried with the Simple Network
+Management Protocol (SNMP_) as specified in RFC 2922. The topology of an
+LLDP-enabled network can be discovered by crawling the hosts and querying this
+database. Information that may be retrieved include:
+
+* System name and description
+* Port name and description
+* VLAN name
+* IP management address
+* System capabilities (switching, routing, etc.)
+* MAC/PHY information
+* MDI power
+* Link aggregation
+
+Configuration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* Enable service with:
+
+ :code:`set service lldp`
+
+Options
+*******
+
+* Configure a Define management-address:
+
+ :code:`set service lldp management-address <x.x.x.x>`
+
+* Define listening interfaces
+
+ :code:`set service lldp interface <all|interface name>`
+
+* LLDPd also implements an SNMP subagent. To Enable SNMP queries of the LLDP
+ database:
+
+ :code:`set service lldp snmp enable`
+
+* Enable optional/other protocols
+
+ :code:`set service lldp legacy-protocols cdp`
+
+ Supported legacy protocols:
+
+ * ``cdp`` - Listen for CDP for Cisco routers/switches
+ * ``edp`` - Listen for EDP for Extreme routers/switches
+ * ``fdp`` - Listen for FDP for Foundry routers/switches
+ * ``sonmp`` - Listen for SONMP for Nortel routers/switches
+
+
+Display neighbors
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* Display with:
+
+``show lldp neighbors``
+
+Exemple:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ vyos@vyos:~# show lldp neighbors
+ Capability Codes: R - Router, B - Bridge, W - Wlan r - Repeater, S - Station
+ D - Docsis, T - Telephone, O - Other
+ Device ID Local Proto Cap Platform Port ID
+ --------- ----- ----- --- -------- -------
+ swA309 eth0 LLDP ? Cisco IOS Software, GigE0/33
+
+
+* Options:
+
+ * ``detail`` - Show lldp neighbors detail
+ * ``interface`` - Show LLDP for specified interface
+
+Troubleshooting
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Use operationnal command ``show log lldp`` to display logs.
