network-lldp

A task to run the LLDP system to collect data

Collects LLDP/CDP neighbor information from network interfaces.

Linux: Assumes LLDP daemon (lldpd/lldpad) is installed. Requires LLDP enabled on neighboring switches to send broadcast packets.

Windows: Uses the built-in pktmon utility to capture LLDP and CDP packets. No additional software required. Runs in three steps: start capture (network-lldp-start.ps1), collect data (network-lldp-client.ps1), stop capture (network-lldp-stop.ps1).

Also requires the system to have LLDP enabled on neighbors including switches to send the correct broadcast packets.
