Link Layer Discovery Protocol

This document describes how to display the RPD LLDP neighbors and counters information. It also describes how to use the show lldp neighbors/statistics command.

Finding Feature Information

Your software release may not support all the features that are documented in this module. For the latest feature information and caveats, see the release notes for your platform and software release. The Feature Information Table at the end of this document provides information about the documented features and lists the releases in which each feature is supported.

Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about the platform support and Cisco software image support. To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to the link http://tools.cisco.com/ITDIT/CFN/. An account at the http://www.cisco.com/ site is not required.

Hardware Compatibility Matrix for Cisco Remote PHY Device

The -PKEY suffix in the PID indicates units that enable the SCTE-55-2 Out-of-Band protocol support.

Link Layer Discovery Protocol

LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) is a vendor-neutral link layer protocol in the Internet Protocol Suite used by network devices for advertising their identities and capabilities on an IEEE 802 local area network, principally wired Ethernet.

In Cisco 1x2 / Compact Shelf RPD Software 6.1, LldpEnable TLV is introduced to enable or disable the LLDP protocol.

This TLV will be documented in a forthcoming revision of the Cablelabs Remote PHY Specification. The TLV Type is 15.6.1. A Boolean value is defined to enable/disable LLDP operation on the RPD. 0 means LLDP is disabled. 1 means LLDP is enabled. Default value is 1.

Displaying LLDP Status

To display RPD LLDP neighbors and counters information, use show lldp neighbors/statistics command as shown in the following example.
