Description: implementation of IEEE 802.1ab (LLDP)
LLDP is an industry standard protocol designed to supplant
proprietary Link-Layer protocols such as Extreme's EDP (Extreme
Discovery Protocol) and CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol). The goal of
LLDP is to provide an inter-vendor compatible mechanism to deliver
Link-Layer notifications to adjacent network devices.
.
This implementation provides LLDP sending and reception, supports
VLAN and includes an SNMP subagent that can interface to an SNMP
agent through AgentX protocol.
.
This daemon is also able to deal with CDP, SONMP, FDP and EDP
protocol. It also handles LLDP-MED extension.
