About:
lldpd is a daemon that implements the IEEE 802.1ab Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP). It allows a network device to advertise its identity, capabilities, and neighbors on a local network. This enables network management systems to discover the physical network topology and configuration automatically.
Key Features:
  • Supports LLDP, CDP, FDP, and SONMP protocols
  • Provides SNMP integration for network management systems
  • Includes CLI utilities for querying neighbor information
  • Low resource footprint and daemon mode operation
Use Cases:
  • Network topology discovery for system administrators
  • Troubleshooting switch and router connectivity issues
  • Asset management and network inventory automation
Alternatives:
  • lldpd – Standard open-source implementation with broad protocol support
