NAME

ladvd - send link layer advertisements

SYNOPSIS

ladvd [ -C ] [ INTERFACE ] [ INTERFACE ] ...

DESCRIPTION

ladvd sends LLDP link layer advertisements on all available interfaces. This makes connected hosts visible on managed switches. By default it will run as a non-privileged user and daemonize. Additional protocols can be enabled using the -C, -E, -F and -N options. Optionally a list of interfaces on which ladvd should transmit can be supplied.

Dump pcap-compatible packets to stdout which can be piped to tcpdump (via "| tcpdump -r -") or redirected to a file for further analysis.
-f
Run in the foreground and send logging to stderr.
-h
Print usage instructions.
-m address
Management adress for unnumbered interfaces, can be specified for IPv4 and IPv6.
-n
Use management addresses specified via -m for all interfaces.
-o
Run only once, useful for quick troubleshooting.
-r
Receive packets, and use them for various features.
-u user
