lldptool can be used toĪssociate/deassociate VSIs from the command line.

Is used by libvirt to communicate VSIs to lldpad. Two ways to receive VSI information exist in llpdad: via netlink or with lldptool. Each ECP frame may contain multiple VDP TLVs. Information about the VSIs is formatted into VDP TLVs which are then handed to ECPįor lower-level transport. The VDP protocol is used to pre-associate, associate or deassociate VSIs to and adjacent Role shows or sets the role of the local machine to act as either station (default) or mode (0=preassociate, 1=preassociate with RR, 2=associate, 3=deassociate) Mode shows or sets modes for VSIs with the following parameters: Each VDP TLVs contains a mode, typeid, version, instanceid, mac An ECP frame mayĬontain multiple VDP TLVs.
