LLDP Reception

This feature receives and stores LLDP messages, and makes the LLDP information available via the CLI, REST API, and SNMP. The feature can be enabled on three levels: globally, per VDOM, or per interface.

In the GUI, go to User & Device > Device Inventory to view the information.

To configure LLDP reception globally:

config system global
    set lldp-reception enable
end

To configure LLDP reception per VDOM:

config system setting
    set lldp-reception enable
end

To configure LLDP reception per interface:

config system interface
    edit <port>
        set lldp-reception enable
    next
end

To view the received LLDP information in the CLI:

diagnose user device list
    hosts
      vd root/0 44:0a:a0:0a:0a:0a gen 3 req S/2
        created 10290s gen 1 seen 0s port3 gen 1

        os 'Artist EOS ' version '4.20.4' src lldp id 155
        host 'artist' src lldp
