+Set the pattern of valid interfaces to listen to. When not set,
+.Nm lldpd
+will listen on all available interfaces. This option can use
+wildcards. Several interfaces can be specified separated by commas.
+It is also possible to blacklist an interface by suffixing it with an
+exclamation mark. When an interface is both specified with and without
+an exclamation mark, it is blacklisted. For example, with
+.Em eth*,!eth1,!eth2
+.Nm lldpd
+will only listen to interfaces starting by
+.Em eth
+with the exception of
+.Em eth1
+and
