LLDPD System Log Messages

This chapter describes messages with the LLDPD prefix. They are generated by the link layer discovery protocol process (lldpd) which is used by EX-series switches to learn and distribute device information on network links. The information allows the switch to quickly identify a variety of devices, including IP telephones, resulting in a LAN that interoperates smoothly and efficiently.
