The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is an layer 2 discovery protocol defined in the
IEEE 802.1ab. How does it work? The LLDP protocol collects information about local
interfaces, sends this information to neighbors, and receives information from the neighbors
as well. In short, when the LLDP protocol runs on devices, the NMS can obtain the Layer 2
information about all the devices it connects and the detailed network topology. It does it by
searching the layer 2 information in Management Information Base (MIB). NMS uses LLDP
management address to identify the device. Trap message is triggered in case when local
management address is changed, LLDP is enabled or disabled globally and there are changes
on neighboring devices.
<Switch>terminal monitor
Info: Current terminal monitor is on.
<Switch>terminal trapping
Info: Current Terminal trapping is on.
Enable LLDP globally and look what kind of trap will be displayed:
[Switch]lldp enable
Info: Global LLDP is enabled successfully.

Now change physical parameters of neighboring interfaces and trap will be send to NMS that
LLDP neighbor information is changed:
You can also turn on LLDP debugging to follow if LLDP information is exchanged:
If you want to test it on eNSP, unfortunately I was not able to do it. It looks like LLDP is not
supported yet, even the necessary commands are available.
