+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. 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
+:abbr:`CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol)`, :abbr:`FDP (Foundry Discovery Protocol)`,
+:abbr:`NDP (Nortel Discovery Protocol)` and :abbr:`LLTD (Link Layer Topology
+Discovery)`.
+
+Information gathered with LLDP is stored in the device as a :abbr:`MIB
+(Management Information Database)` and can be queried with :abbr:`SNMP (Simple
+Network Management Protocol)` 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
+=============
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set service lldp
+
+ Enable LLDP service
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set service lldp management-address <address>
+
+ Define IPv4/IPv6 management address transmitted via LLDP. Multiple addresses
+ can be defined. Only addresses connected to the system will be transmitted.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set service lldp interface <interface>
+
+ Enable transmission of LLDP information on given `<interface>`. You can also
+ say ``all`` here so LLDP is turned on on every interface.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set service lldp interface <interface> disable
+
+ Disable transmit of LLDP frames on given `<interface>`. Useful to exclude
+ certain interfaces from LLDP when ``all`` have been enabled.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set service lldp snmp enable
+
+ Enable SNMP queries of the LLDP database
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set service lldp legacy-protocols <cdp|edp|fdp|sonmp>
+
+ 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
