show lldp neighbors

Syntax

Description

Display the information about neighboring devices learned by the switch by using the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP).

Note:

The Chassis ID TLV has a subtype for Network Address Family. The supported network address families are IPv4 and IPv6. LLDP frames are validated only if the Network Address subtype of the Chassis ID TLV has a value of 1 (IPv4) or 2 (IPv6). For any other value, the transmitting device is detected by LLDP as a neighbor and displayed in the output of the show lldp neighbors command, but is not assigned to the VLAN.

Options

interface interface

(Optional) Display LLDP neighbor information for a selected interface.

Required Privilege Level

Output Fields

Table 1 lists the output fields for the show lldp neighbors command. Output fields are listed in the approximate order in which they appear.

Table 1: show lldp neighbors Output Fields

Field Name

Field Description

Local Interface

List of local interfaces for which neighbor information is available.

Parent Interface

List of aggregated Ethernet interfaces, if any, to which the local interfaces belong.

Chassis ID

List of chassis identifiers for neighbors.

Port info

This field displays the port information received from neighbors.

System name

List of system names gathered from neighbors. Includes the host name and the domain name.

LLDP Neighbor Information

Information about both the local system (the switch) and a neighbor system on the interface (appears when the interface option is used).

Local Information

Information about the local system (appears when the interface option is used).

Index

Local interface index (appears when the interface option is used).

Time to live

Number of seconds for which this information is valid (appears when the interface option is used).

Time mark

Date and timestamp of information (appears when the interface option is used).

Local Interface

Name of the local physical interface (appears when the interface option is used).

Parent Interface

Name of the aggregated Ethernet interface, if any, to which the interface belongs (appears when the interface option is used).

Local Port ID

Local interface SNMP index (appears when the interface option is used).

Ageout Count

Number of times the complete set of information advertised by the neighbor has been deleted from LLDP neighbor information maintained by the local system because the information timeliness interval expired (appears when the interface option is used).

Neighbor Information

Information about a neighbor system on the interface (appears when the interface option is used).

Chassis type

Type of chassis identifier supplied, such as Mac address (appears when the interface option is used).

Chassis ID

Chassis identifier of the chassis type listed (appears when the interface option is used).

Port type

Type of port identifier supplied, such as Locally assigned (appears when the interface option is used).

Port ID

Port identifier of the port type listed (appears when the interface option is used).

Port description

The port description field uses the configured port description, the port name or the SNMP ifIndex (appears when the interface option is used).

System name

Name supplied by the system on the interface (appears when the interface option is used).

System Description

Description supplied by the system on the interface (appears when the interface option is used).

System capabilities

Capabilities (such as Bridge, Bridge Router, and Bridge Telephone) that are supported or enabled by the system on the interface (appears when the interface option is used).

Management Info

Details of management information: Type (such as IPv4 or IPv6), Address (such as 10.204.34.35), Port ID, Subtype, Interface Subtype, and organization identifier (OID) (appears when the interface option is used).

The Interface Subtype displays:

  • ifIndex(2)— IP address of the neighbor’s management Ethernet interface (me0) or virtual management Ethernet (VME) interface address (for a Virtual Chassis) is used to manage the switch.

  • unknown(1)—Neighbor’s IP management address has been configured with set protocols lldp management-address.

Media Info

Additional details about the endpoint device appear when a device that supports LLDP-MED is attached to the interface. The specific details depend upon the capabilities of the device. Details might include: Media endpoint class (such as Class 3 for communication devices such as IP phones), MED Hardware revision, MED Firmware revision, MED Software revision, MED Serial number, MED Manufacturer name, MED Model name.

Organization Info

One or more entries (indexed by the Index element) listing more remote interface information by organizationally unique identifier (OUI), Subtype, and Info (appears when the interface option is used).

Age

How long the neighbor has been identified (appears when the interface option is used and NetBIOS snooping is enabled on the switch).

Local Interface

Name of the local physical interface (appears when the interface option is used and NetBIOS snooping is enabled on the switch).

Parent Interface

Name of the aggregated Ethernet interface, if any, to which the interface belongs (appears when the interface option is used and NetBIOS snooping is enabled on the switch).

Chassis ID

Chassis identifier of the chassis type listed (appears when the interface option is used and NetBIOS snooping is enabled on the switch).

Sample Output

show lldp neighbors

show lldp neighbors interface ge-0/0/8

show lldp neighbors interface ge-0/0/0.0 (for a VoIP AvayaTelephone with LLDP-MED Support)

show lldp neighbors interface ge-0/0/5.0 (with NetBIOS Snooping Enabled on the Switch)

Release Information

Command introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0.
