Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
Port
• Local Port – The local port to which a remote LLDP-capable device is attached.
• Chassis ID – An octet string indicating the specific identifier for the particular chassis in this
system.
• Port ID – A string that contains the specific identifier for the port from which this LLDPDU was
transmitted.
• System Name – A string that indicates the system’s administratively assigned name.
Port Details
• Port – Port identifier on local switch.
• Remote Index – Index of remote device attached to this port.
• Local Port – The local port to which a remote LLDP-capable device is attached.
• Chassis Type – Identifies the chassis containing the IEEE 802 LAN entity associated with the
transmitting LLDP agent. There are several ways in which a chassis may be identified and a
chassis ID subtype is used to indicate the type of component being referenced by the chassis
ID field. (See Table 171 on page 920.)
• Chassis ID – An octet string indicating the specific identifier for the particular chassis in this
system.
• System Name – A string that indicates the system’s assigned name.
• System Description – A textual description of the network entity.
• Port Type – Indicates the basis for the identifier that is listed in the Port ID field.
• Port Description – A string that indicates the port’s description. If RFC 2863 is implemented,
the ifDescr object should be used for this field.
• Port ID – A string that contains the specific identifier for the port from which this LLDPDU was
transmitted.
• System Capabilities Supported – The capabilities that define the primary function(s) of the
system. (See Table 172 on page 921.)
