LLDP allows you to know exactly on which port is a server (and
|
|
reciprocally). It 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.
