For those who are monitoring LLDP, how have you found the SNMP MIB support support for it on Juniper, Cisco, Brocade, Arista, and others?
I've written this to crawl network with CDP+LLDP+SNMP and produce JSON or dotty output of topology. https://github.com/ytti/netcrawl CDP MIB is obviously enterprise but LLDP is standard. LLDP standard itself is in my non-humble opinion broken. There are no guarantees that standard compliant LLDP will produce useful data. Standard should allow multiple TLV's to describe port and device. Standard should mandate that if device implements IP and SNMP, one of the port TLVs SHOULD be 'ifIndex' and one of the device TLVs SHOULD be MGMT IP address. -- ++ytti
