Moxa E Series Managed Ethernet Switch Featured Functions
3-64
From the switch’s web interface, you can enable or disable LLDP, and set the LLDP transmit interval. In addition,
you can view each switch’s neighbor-list, which is reported by its network neighbors. Most importantly,
enabling the LLDP function allows Moxa’s MXview to automatically display the network’s topology and system
setup details, such as VLAN and Trunking, for the entire network.

LLDP Table
The LLDP Table displays the following information:
Port The port number that connects to the neighbor device.
Neighbor ID
A unique entity (typically the MAC address) that identifies a neighbor device.
Neighbor Port The port number of the neighbor device.
Neighbor Port Description A textual description of the neighbor device’s interface.
Neighbor System Hostname of the neighbor device.
Ping
The Ping function uses the ping command to give users a simple but powerful tool for troubleshooting network
problems. The function’s most unique feature is that even though the ping command is entered from the user’s
PC keyboard, the actual ping command originates from the Moxa switch itself. In this way, the user can
essentially sit on top of the Moxa switch and send ping commands out through its ports.
To use the Ping function, type in the desired IP address, and then press Enter from the Console utility, or click
Ping when using the Web Browser interface.
