LLDP Function
Overview
LLDP is an OSI Layer 2 protocol defined by IEEE 802.11AB. LLDP standardizes the self-identification
advertisement method, and allows each networking device, such as a Moxa managed DSL Ethernet extender,
to periodically send its system and configuration information to its neighbors. Because of this, all LLDP devices
are kept informed of each other’s status and configuration, and with SNMP, this information can be transferred
to Moxa’s MXview for auto-topology and network visualization.
From the DSL Ethernet extender’s web interface, you can enable or disable LLDP, and set the LLDP transmit
interval. In addition, you can view each DSL Ethernet extender’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.
