LLDP for DICE

Project ID: 
127
Current stage: 
Manager: 
Unit: 
What: 

Description: There are a couple of viable LLDP implementations available for Linux now. lldpd looks pretty promising, while ladvd is worth another look. (OpenLLDP seems to have got stuck.)

Deliverables: LLDP on DICE

Why: 

Customer: COs

Case statement: It would be very useful to have LLDP available on more than just the switches. Implementing LLDP on DICE would mean that machine names would show up in the netmon index pages, making it much easier to see what's what.

When: 

Status:

Timescales: This is unlikely to take very much in the way of effort. Indeed, it's quite likely that it wouldn't even rise above the devproj threshold. It's here for prioritisation, as much as anything else.
