show lldp info remote-device

Syntax

show lldp info remote-device<PORT-LIST>

Description

Without the <PORT-LIST> option, provides a global list of the individual devices it has detected by reading LLDP advertisements. Discovered devices are listed by the inbound port on which they were discovered.

Multiple devices listed for a single port indicates that such devices are connected to the switch through a hub.

Discovering the same device on multiple ports indicates that the remote device may be connected to the switch in one of the following ways:

  • Through different VLANS using separate links. (This applies to switches that use the same MAC address for all configured VLANs.)

  • Through different links in the same trunk.

  • Through different links using the same VLAN. (In this case, spanning-tree should be invoked to prevent a network topology loop. Note that LLDP packets travel on links that spanning-tree blocks for other traffic types.)

With the <PORT-LIST> option, provides a listing of the LLDP data that the switch has detected in advertisements received on the specified ports.
