LLDP allows you to know exactly on which port is a server
|
||
|
|
(and reciprocally).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
LLDP is an industry standard protocol designed to supplant proprietary
|
||
|
|
Link-Layer protocols such as EDP or CDP. The goal of LLDP is to provide
|
||
|
|
an inter-vendor compatible mechanism to deliver Link-Layer notifications
|
||
|
|
to adjacent network devices.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
lldpd is an ISC-licensed implementation of LLDP for various Unixes.
|
||
|
|
It also supports some proprietary protocols.
