LLDP is a one-way protocol without any request/response sequences. Information is
advertised by stations implementing the transmit function, and is received and processed by
stations implementing the receive function. The transmit and receive functions can be
enabled or disabled separately per port. By default, both transmit and receive are disabled on
all ports. The application is responsible for starting each transmit and receive state machine
appropriately, based on the configured status and operational state of the port.
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED) is an
enhancement to LLDP with the following features:
• Autodiscovery of LAN policies (such as VLAN, Layer 2 priority, and DiffServ settings),
enabling plug and play networking.
• Device location discovery for creation of location databases.
• Extended and automated power management of Power over Ethernet endpoints.
• Inventory management, enabling network administrators to track their network devices
and determine their characteristics (manufacturer, software and hardware versions,
serial/asset number).
