LLDP

:abbr:`LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol)` 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
+principally wired Ethernet. 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.

Configuration
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+=============
-* Enable service with:
+.. cfgcmd:: set service lldp
- :code:`set service lldp`
+Enable LLDP service
-Options
-*******
+.. cfgcmd:: set service lldp management-address <address>
-* Configure a Define management-address:
+Define IPv4 management address transmitted via LLDP.
- :code:`set service lldp management-address <x.x.x.x>`
+.. cfgcmd:: set service lldp interface <interface>
-* Define listening interfaces
+Enable transmission of LLDP information on given `<interface>`. You can also
+say ``all`` here so LLDP is turned on on every interface.
- :code:`set service lldp interface <all|interface name>`
+.. cfgcmd:: set service lldp interface <interface> disable
-* LLDPd also implements an SNMP subagent. To Enable SNMP queries of the LLDP
- database:
+Disable transmit of LLDP frames on given `<interface>`. Useful to exclude
+certain interfaces from LLDP when ``all`` have been enabled.
- :code:`set service lldp snmp enable`
+.. cfgcmd:: set service lldp snmp enable
-* Enable optional/other protocols
+Enable SNMP queries of the LLDP database
- :code:`set service lldp legacy-protocols cdp`
- Supported legacy protocols:
+.. cfgcmd:: set service lldp legacy-protocols <cdp|edp|fdp|sonmp>
- * ``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
+Enable given legacy protocol on this LLDP instance. Legacy protocols include:
+* ``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
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Operation
+=========
-* Display with:
+.. opcmd:: show lldp neighbors
-``show lldp neighbors``
-
-Exemple:
+Displays information about all neighbors discovered via LLDP.
