Displaying LLDP Remote Information Details
Use the LLDP Remote Information Details screen to display detailed information
about an LLDP-enabled device connected to a specific port on the local switch.
Field Attributes
• 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 3-15, “Chassis ID
Subtype,” on page 219.)
• Chassis ID – An octet string indicating the specific identifier for the particular
chassis in this system.
• 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 Name – An string that indicates the system’s configures assigned name.
• System Description – A textual description of the network entity.
• System Capabilities Supported – The capabilities that define the primary
function(s) of the system. (See Table 3-16, “System Capabilities,” on page 220.)
• System Capabilities Enabled – The primary function(s) of the system which are
currently enabled. Refer to the preceding table. (See Table 3-16, “System
Capabilities,” on page 220.)
• Management Address – The IPv4 address of the remote device. If no
management address is available, the address should be the MAC address for the
CPU or for the port sending this advertisement.
