NAME

ladvd - send link layer advertisements

SYNOPSIS

ladvd [ -c ] [ -l ] [ INTERFACE ] [ INTERFACE ] ...

DESCRIPTION

ladvd sends CDP/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. Either -c or -l is required. Optionally a list of interfaces on which ladvd should transmit can be supplied.

OPTIONS

-c
Send CDP messages.
-d
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.
-l
Send LLDP messages.
-m address
Management adress for unnumbered interfaces, can be specified for IPv4 and IPv6.
-o
Run only once, useful for quick troubleshooting.
-u user
Switch to this user (defaults to ladvd)
-v
Increase logging verbosity.
-C <CC>
Specify a two-letter ISO 3166 country code (required for LLDP location support).
