=============
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.
