Using standard management tools makes physical topology information available and helps network administrators detect and correct network malfunctions and inconsistencies in configuration. Media Endpoint Discovery (MED) is an LLDP enhancement that was formalized by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) for voice over IP (VoIP) applications. The Cisco implementation of LLDP is based on the IEEE 802.1ab standard. This document describes LLDP and LLDP-MED and how they are supported in Cisco software. • Finding Feature Information, page 1 • Prerequisites for Using Link Layer Discovery Protocol in Multivendor Networks, page 2 • Restrictions for Using Link Layer Discovery Protocol in Multivendor Networks, page 2 • Information About Using Link Layer Discovery Protocol in Multivendor Networks, page 2 • How to Configure Link Layer Discovery Protocol in Multivendor Networks, page 6 • Configuration Examples for Link Layer Discovery Protocol in Multivendor Networks, page 14 • Additional References for Using Link Layer Discovery Protocol in Multivendor Networks, page 17 • Feature Information for Link Layer Discovery Protocol in Multivendor Networks, page 18 Finding Feature Information Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module.

Carrier Ethernet Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS XE Release 3SE (Catalyst 3850 Switches) 1 Using Link Layer Discovery Protocol in Multivendor Networks Prerequisites for Using Link Layer Discovery Protocol in Multivendor Networks Prerequisites for Using Link Layer Discovery Protocol in Multivendor Networks • Type-Length-Value (TLV) types 0 through 127 • To support LLDP-MED, the following organizationally specific TLVs must be implemented: • Extended Power-via-Media Dependent Interface (MDI) • Inventory • LLDP-MED Capabilities • MAC/PHY Configuration Status • Network Policy • Port VLAN ID Restrictions for Using Link Layer Discovery Protocol in Multivendor Networks • Use of LLDP is limited to 802.1 media types such as Ethernet, Token Ring, and Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) networks. • The maximum number of neighbor entries per chassis is limited on MED-capable network connectivity devices. Information About Using Link Layer Discovery Protocol in Multivendor Networks IEEE 802.1ab LLDP IEEE 802.1ab Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is an optional link layer protocol for network topology discovery in multivendor networks. Discovery information includes device identifiers, port identifiers, versions, and other details. As a protocol that aids network management, LLDP provides accurate network mapping, inventory data, and network troubleshooting information. LLDP is unidirectional, operating only in an advertising mode. LLDP does not solicit information or monitor state changes between LLDP nodes. LLDP periodically sends advertisements to a constrained multicast address. Devices supporting LLDP can send information about themselves while they receive and record information about their neighbors. Additionally, devices can choose to turn off the send or receive functions independently. Advertisements are sent out and received on every active and enabled interface, allowing any device in a network to learn about all devices to which it is connected.
