LLDP

Identifying the network topology
LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) is defined in the IEEE 802.1 AB standard.
LLDP is a method used to discover the network topology. Network components exchange
information with their neighbor devices using LLDP.
Network components that support LLDP have an LLDP agent. The LLDP agent sends
information about itself and receives information from connected devices at periodic intervals.
The received information is stored in the MIB.
