# The net/lldpd,snmp port

## lldpd-0.9.4p1-snmp – LLDP (802.1ab)/CDP/EDP/SONMP/FDP daemon and SNMP subagent

## Description

    LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) is an industry standard protocol
    designed to supplant proprietary Link-Layer protocols such as
    Extreme's EDP (Extreme Discovery Protocol) and CDP (Cisco Discovery
    Protocol). The goal of LLDP is to provide an inter-vendor compatible
    mechanism to deliver Link-Layer notifications to adjacent network
    devices.

    lldpd implements both reception and sending. It also implements an
    SNMP subagent for net-snmp to get local and remote LLDP
    information. The LLDP MIB is partially implemented but the most useful
    tables are here. lldpd also partially implements LLDP-MED.

    lldpd supports bridge, vlan and bonding. bonding need to be done on
    real physical devices, not on bridges, vlans, etc. However, vlans can
    be mapped on the bonding device. You can bridge vlan but not add vlans
    on bridges. More complex setups may give false results.
