LLDP - Displayed Information

Hello!

I have enabled LLDP between a FortiGate 600D and one of my Cisco switches. Using show lldp neighbor on the Cisco switch displays some pretty useful information:

Device ID Local Intf Hold-time Capability Port ID FGT61E4Q16001015 Gi6/0/43 117 R wan1

As you can see from the information, the Cisco switch knows it is connected to wan1 through port Gi6/0/43. I can also run other commands to get more detail.

However, the FortiGate side shows quite a bit of information in the User and Device -> Device inventory section but nothing particularly useful. I can see the device name, the MAC, operating system etc but I cannot find any information about which ports are in use (which is really what I am after).

Does anyone know of a way to display this information or a CLI command that shows it? I couldn't find anything after quite a bit of digging.

Hi Emnoc,

Thanks for the reply - I can't get those CLI commands to work.

I can get as far as diag switch-controller dump but lldp isn't an option. Instead I get:

fw-test (root) # diag switch-controller dump?

vlan_config configured switch-controller vlan info switch_config configured managed-switch info mac_hosts cached kernel mac hosts mac_hosts_switch_port Display FortiSwitch port of detected devices device_access_list cached device access list client running clients port-stats Managed FortiSwitch port statistics. trunk-state Managed FortiSwitch trunk status. mac-addr Managed FortiSwitch MAC address list.

I believe that the LLDP portion of this command was added in 6.x as I see it on my 6.x devices but not my 5.x devices.
