Link Layer Discovery Protocol

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a standard protocol that lets network devices share basic information (such as name, port, and capabilities) with directly connected neighbors. It helps with network discovery and troubleshooting without affecting traffic.

In NVOS, LLDP is supported on management ports only.

To check LLDP state, run the following command:
