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. LLDP, like CDP is a discovery protocol used by devices to identify themselves. By default Cisco switches & routers send CDP packets out on all interfaces (that are Up) every 60-seconds. The contents of the CDP packet will contain the device type, hostname, Interface type/number and IP address, IOS version and on switches VTP information.

Overview

The haneWIN LLDP software implements a LLDP Agent based on the IEEE 802.1ABstandard for the Link Layer Discovery Protocol.A native LLDP Agent service is implemented for Windows XP/VISTA/20xx/7/8/10.A Control Panel Applet provides interactive access to the service.

The LLDP MIB is implemented as SNMP MIB subagent for the Windows SNMP agent.

Optionally the software can read and send CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol)version 1 and 2 packets. Infomation received from CDP packets is stored in theLLDP MIB to present a consistent data base to SNMP management software.

The software is implemented as 32 and 64 Bit versions. Version is selected by the installerdepending on the OS.

The haneWIN LLDP Agent Software is Shareware.
You may test the software for 30 days without any obligation.Any use of the software after the evaluation time requires a software license.Registration details you will find in order.txt.

Introduction

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) and Cisco discovery protocol areprotocols for discovering the physical topology in 802 LANs. LLDP uses multicast packetsto announce stations on LAN. CDP uses multicast packets in SNAP format. Adjacent stationsare discovered and stored by the LLDP agent for retrieval by a SNMP basednetwork management system.

Installation

Requirements

Computer with Windows XP or higher.

Installation of the LLDP Agent on Windows XP or higher
  1. Install the software by running the installer with administrator rights. The setup software installs the LLDP protocol driver, the LLDP Agent and LLDP MIB SNMP subagent. If a LLDP.INI configuration file is provided with the installer the configuration is copied in the installtion directory.
  2. With the control panel applet haneWIN LLDP Agent you can configure and monitor the service.
    Only Administrators are allowed to start the applet. On systems with UAC activeyou must start the applet by 'Run as Administrator'
Controlling the LLDP Agent Service on Windows XP and higher

The service is configured for automatic start on Windows startup.The service can be started and stopped manually through the servicescontrol panel.

  1. You could install and start the LLDP Agent service manually executing the command:
    LLDP -install
  2. To uninstall the LLDP service manually execute the command:
    LLDP -remove
    The command stops a running LLDP Agent service and removes the LLDP Agent service from the services list.

Operation

The Info Box at startup of the control panel applet is displayed only forunregistered version.

The main window of the LLDP control panel displays the adjacent station and port IDs,the name of the adjacent station and if available the IP address of the adjacent station.observed by the server.
Clicking on the column header the list is sorted based on the column entries.
Using the right mouse button, you can remove an entry manually from the list.

For stations transmitting 802.1 and 802.3 extensions VlanId and Operational Mode of theinterface is evaluated.
Due to restrictions set by Windows the LLDP agent can not resolve the physicalmau type (twisted pair, fiber, ..) of an interface, only link speed and full/half duplexoperation is available.Because LLDP 802.3 extensions combine these information in a single field, thephysical mau type is internally fixed to twisted pair.

Configuration
The LLDP transmit interval defines how often LLDP multicasts are transmitted on theLAN segment. The default is configured to every 30 seconds.
The LLDP hold multiplier defines how long transmitted LLDP packets arevalid in the database of adjacent stations receiving the packet.It is defined in the form of a multiplier to the LLDP transmit interval.
CDP packet analysis is optional. It is enabled by default.The LLDP agent can send CDP packets. By default CDP packets are send onlyon those interfaces were a CDP packet was received before.

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a vendor neutral layer 2 protocol that can be used by a station attached to a specific LAN segment to advertise its identity and capabilities and to also receive same from a physically adjacent layer 2 peer.

History

After several years of development LLDP was formally defined in May of 2005 as IEEE Std 802.1AB-2005.
LLDP was developed as an open and extendable standard. It was modeled on and borrowed concepts from the numerous vendor proprietary discovery protocols such as Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), Extreme Discovery Protocol (EDP) and others.

Protocol dependencies

LLDP Data Units (LLDPDUs) are sent to the destination MAC address 01:80:c2:00:00:0e. This address is defined as the 'LLDP_Multicast' address. This address is defined within a range of addresses reserved by the IEEE for protocols that are to be constrained to an individual LAN. AN LLDPDU will not be forwarded by MAC bridges (e.g. switches) that conform to IEEE Std 802.1D-2004.
LLDPDUs can be directly encoded with an Ethertype value of 0x88cc or they may be encapsulated within an SNAP-encoded (Subnetwork Access Protocols - IEEE Std 802-201) LLC frame. If SNAP-encoded, a SNAP discriminator value of aa:aa:03:00:00:00 will be prepended to the LLDP Ethertype value of 0x88cc.

For some perspective on how the LLDP came to be, see the following from ieee802.org:
It's interesting to note that unlike the LLDP drafts referenced above, the final LLDP standard abandoned the notion of an LLDP Header and instead simply mandated the presence of certain TLVs. In the various draft documents the LLDP Header was supposed to include a Version field. The current LLDP standard does not include any notion of a Version.

Discussion

There are both mandatory and optional LLDP TLVs defined. All compliant LLDP Data Units (LLDPDUs) must contain at a minimum the following four mandated TLVs in the following order :
If the LLDPDU includes optional TLVs they will be inserted between the Time To Live TLV and End of LLDPDU TLV.

Besides the four mandated TLVs listed above the Basic set of LLDP TLVs also includes:

Organizationally Specific TLVs

The LLDP specification allows for various organizations to define and encode their own TLVs. These are called Organizationally Specific TLVs. All Organizationally Specific TLVs start with an LLDP TLV Type value of 127.
The length field of an Organizationally Specific TLV is followed by a 3 octet (24 bit) organizationally unique identifier (OUI) value which is then followed by a 1 octet organizationally defined subtype. Zip2john download linux.
