LLDP-MED is very similar to the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP). It has basic discovery capabilities that allow it to see information about devices that it is connected to. LLDP-MED allows the device to determine the capabilities that the connected device supports such as LAN speed, network policy, location identification, power, inventory, and trust extensions.
