Netgear XS728T – ProSAFE® 10 Gigabit Smart Managed Switch Guia Do Administrador

From the LLDP menu, you can access the features described in the following sections:

LLDP is a one-way protocol; there are no request-response sequences. Stations advertise 
information by implementing the transmit function, and stations implementing the receive 
function receive and process information. The transmit and receive functions can be enabled 
or disabled separately per port. By default, both the transmit and receive functions are 
enabled on all ports. The application is responsible for starting each transmit and receive 
state machine appropriately, based on the configured status and operational state of the port.

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED) is an 
enhancement to LLDP with the following features:

Autodiscovery of LAN policies (such as VLAN, Layer 2 Priority, and DiffServ settings), 

enabling plug, and play networking.

Device location discovery for creation of location databases.

Extended and automated power management of Power over Ethernet endpoints.

Inventory management, enabling network administrators to track their network devices 
and determine their characteristics (manufacturer, software and hardware versions, serial 
number and asset number).

Use the LLDP Configuration screen to specify LLDP and LLDP-MED parameters that are 
applied to the switch.
