8.2.2.6 LLDP

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a standardized network discovery protocol used by network devices to advertise their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on a local area network (LAN). It operates at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. LLDP is defined by the IEEE 802.1AB standard. By using this protocol, devices can automatically discover and understand each other’s presence and capabilities, which simplifies network management and configuration.

Once the LLDP protocol is enabled, you can obtain the camera's information on your switch that supports the LLDP protocol.
