What is LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) and how do I configure it on the NVT Phybridge FLEX24-10G (NV-FLX-024-10G) switch?

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a layer-2 protocol used to discover details about directly connected neighbors. LLDP is a vendor-neutral protocol and is compatible with most modern networking equipment. LLDP is a requirement in a multi-vendor network as it will likely be the only layer-2 discovery protocol found on all network devices.

By default, LLDP is enabled on all switch ports. LLDP can be configured to transmit only, receive only, transmit and receive, or neither transmit nor receive on any switch interface.

FLEX24-10G# configure terminal
FLEX24-10G(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 1/1
FLEX24-10G(config-if)# no lldp transmit
FLEX24-10G(config-if)# no lldp receive
FLEX24-10G(config-if)# end
FLEX24-10G# copy running-config startup-config
