Does Meraki Z3 Support LLDP?

[frogpuff]

I have a Meraki Z3 that does not seem to be broadcasting LLDP information on any of the access ports.

Is LLDP supported on the Z3, and is it enabled be default?

[KarstenI]

No, the MX doesn't do any LLDP. I also would like to have it (at least configurable).

So the data in this link is inaccurate?

Oh damn!!! The documentation is right, The MX supports LLDP. I was thinking about the dashboard that doesn't show us the information. I think I need a coffee ...

Z3 supports LLDP. From a pcap I just took of mine.

rymikles,

Is this enabled by default on the Z3?  My Z3 does not show any LLDP data when running a packet capture.  I have looked at the configuration page of my Z3 and I do not see anything close to LLDP or even specific port configuration settings like I have on my MS200

[Ryan_Miles]

A Z3 or any MX is not a switch and doesn’t have the same features of a MS. That aside it supports LLDP by default.

LLDP is enabled by default. Bounce the port and take another capture from the LAN.

I bounced the entire unit, I see my laptop broadcasting LLDP, but nothing sourced from the Z3. I am running firmware MX16.16, which shows "up to date".

It’s even on the internet port when running as VPN-concentrator:

I just did the same thing with my MX67 and see it sending LLDP:

From which interface are you taking the pcap? don't take it from the z3, you need to take it from the switch uplink port facing the z3

[PhilipDAth]

The MX and Z3 will transmit LLDP information.  They however will not display received LLDP packet information in the Meraki Dashboard.

Thanks everyone.  I was running my PCAP from my laptop connected to one of the Z3 LAN ports. I have an application on my corporate laptop (RedSky My E911 Client) that relies on LLDP to discover the wired network it is connected to for E911 compliance.  I am seeing the Z3 connected to my home network.
