Installing an LLDP Windows agent

LLDP Windows agent plug-ins support 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating systems.

To install and configure an LLDP Windows agent:

1. Run the install.bat script in the LLDP Windows agent installation path.

   The LLDP Windows agent is installed.

2. Configure the LLDP Windows agent.

   The configuration file lldpagent.conf is located in the conf directory of the LLDP Windows agent installation path.

   The LLDP Windows agent supports both LLDP and CDP. You can enable either of them, but not both. By default, the agent supports LLDP.

   To enable the LLDP agent to support CDP and set the packet sending interval:

   1. Open the lldpagent.conf file in the \Program Files\lldpAgent\ directory on the Windows system disk.

   2. Delete the pound sign (#) from the string #Agent=CDP.

   3. Delete the pound sign (#) from the string #INTERVAL=300, and then set the interval as needed.

      The default setting is 300 seconds.

   4. Save and close the file.

3. Restart the lldp-agent service.
