This change addresses a long-standing issue in rST documentation imported from XML.
That import process added backslash escapes in front of various characters. The three
most common being '(', ')', and '_'.
These instances are removed.

LLDP Overview

|
|
|
|prod| supports the sending and receiving of |LLDP| messages on all physical
|
|
interfaces.
|
|
|
|
The |LLDP|, defined in the *IEEE 802.1AB Station and Media Access Control
|
|
Connectivity Discovery* specification, enables devices attached to the network
|
|
to advertise their properties to other devices on the same network.
|
|
|
|
|LLDP| neighbor information is displayed in the |LLDP| tab of the Host Detail
|
|
window, or through system CLI commands.
|
|
|
|
|LLDP| information can be used to verify cabling to the next hop device
|
|
\(typically the Top-of-Rack switch).
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The neighboring device must be capable of, and enabled for, transmitting
|
|
|LLDP| frames.
|
|
|
|
Devices differ in the level of information sent in an |LLDP| |PDU|. This
|
|
can often be configured on the neighboring device. Refer to the
|
|
device documentation for specific information.
