Jukka Rissanen c162bad3af samples: net: lldp: Sample application that enables LLDP support The application does nothing useful, it just enables Link Layer Discovery Protocol support which starts to send LLDP network packets to ethernet network interface. Note that the LLDP packets are only sent to those network interfaces that claim to support LLDP. Signed-off-by: Jukka Rissanen <jukka.rissanen@linux.intel.com>		2018-08-08 09:53:24 +03:00

LLDP Sample Application
#######################

Overview
********

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol sample application for Zephyr will enable
LLDP support and setup VLANs if needed.

The source code for this sample application can be found at:
:file:`samples/net/lldp`.

Requirements
************

- :ref:`networking_with_qemu`

Building and Running
********************

A good way to run this sample LLDP application is inside QEMU,
as described in :ref:`networking_with_qemu` or with embedded device like
FRDM-K64F. Note that LLDP is only supported for boards that have an ethernet
port.

Follow these steps to build the LLDP sample application:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/net/lldp
   :board: <board to use>
   :conf: prj.conf
   :goals: build
   :compact:

Setting up Linux Host
=====================

If you need VLAN support in your network, then the
:file:`samples/net/vlan/vlan-setup-linux.sh` provides a script that can be
executed on the Linux host. It creates two VLANs on the Linux host and creates
routes to Zephyr.
