Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is the function of transmitting data for network
management for the switches connected in LAN according to IEEE 802.1ab standard.

7.3.1 LLDP
Operation
The hiD 6615 S223/S323 supporting LLDP transmits the management information be-
tween near switches. The information carries the management information that can rec-
ognize the switches and the function. This information is saved in internal MIB (Manage-
ment Information Base)
tween near switches. The information carries the management information that can rec-
ognize the switches and the function. This information is saved in internal MIB (Manage-
ment Information Base)
When LLDP starts to operate, the switches send their information to near switches. If
there is some change in local status, it sends their changed information to near switch to
inform their status. For example, if the port status is disabled, it informs that the port is
disabled to near switches. And the switch that receives the information from near
switches processes LLDP frame and saves the information of the other switches. The
information received from other switches is aged.

7.3.2
LLDP Operation Type
If you activated LLDP on a port, configure LLDP operation type.
Each LLDP operation type works as the follow:
•
•
both
: sends and receive LLDP frame.
•
tx_only
: only sends LLDP frame.
•
rx_only
: only receives LLDP frame.
•
disable
: does not process any LLDP frame.
To configure how to operate LLDP, use the following command.

7.3.3 Basic
TLV
LLDP is transmitted through TLV. There are mandatory TLV and optional TLV. In optional
TLV, there are basic TLV and organizationally specific TLV. Basic TLV must be in the
switch where LLDP is realized, specific TLV can be added according to the feature of the
switch.
