# What is lldpd?

![Why using lldpd]([[!!images/why.png]])

LLDP allows you to know exactly on which port is a server
(and reciprocally).

[LLDP][] is an industry standard protocol designed to supplant
proprietary Link-Layer protocols such as EDP or CDP. The goal of LLDP
is to provide an inter-vendor compatible mechanism to deliver
Link-Layer notifications to adjacent network devices.

`lldpd` is an [ISC][]-licensed implementation of LLDP for various
Unixes. It also supports some proprietary protocols.
