Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

LLDP is a Layer 2 discovery protocol defined in the IEEE 802.1ab standard. Using LLDP, the AC or NMS can obtain Layer 2 information about the connected APs, including APs' interfaces and connections with other devices. Additionally, the AC or NMS can obtain details about network topology and interface changes. To view the Layer 2 link status between APs, and between APs and switch or analyze the network topology, enable WLAN LLDP.

Precautions

WLAN LLDP can be enabled in the system view and the AP wired port link profile view.

An AP can send and receive LLDP packets only after LLDP is enabled in both the WLAN view and the AP wired port link profile view.
After LLDP is disabled in the WLAN view, the commands for enabling and disabling LLDP on the AP wired port link profile view do not take effect.

Example

# Enable LLDP in the WLAN view.
