+LLDP allows you to know exactly on which port is a server (and
+reciprocally). It is an industry standard protocol designed to
+supplant proprietary Link-Layer protocols such as EDP or CDP. The goal
+of LLDP is to provide an inter-vendor compatible mechanism to deliver
+Link-Layer notifications to adjacent network devices.
+
+lldpd is an ISC-licensed implementation of LLDP for various Unixes. It
+also supports some proprietary protocols.
+
+
+Groupname and Username
+
+You must have the '_lldpd' group and user to run this script,
+for example:
+
+ groupadd -g 347 _lldpd
+ useradd -u 347 -d /run/lldpd -s /bin/false -g _lldpd _lldpd
