WinLLDPService: Lightweight LLDP Utility for Windows

WinLLDPService is a lightweight open source software utility for Windows that enables Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) to help identify network devices. It allows users to view information about neighboring devices on a local area network (LAN).

What is WinLLDPService?

WinLLDPService is a free, open source software tool that implements the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) for Windows operating systems. LLDP is a vendor-neutral link layer protocol used by network devices for advertising their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on an Ethernet local area network.

The main purpose of WinLLDPService is to discover basic information about adjacent LAN devices on the network. It provides the ability to map network devices, determine device roles, and troubleshoot connectivity issues. Some key features and functions include:

• Discovering nearby LLDP-capable devices such as switches, routers, IP phones, access points, and more
• Obtaining device identification details including name, type/role, chassis ID, management IP address
• Viewing configurable items and port status details for local and remote network interfaces
• Listing detailed neighbor device inventories in a graphical user interface or log files
• Exporting and sharing discovered LLDP network data with topology mapping tools

As an open source LLDP client, WinLLDPService delivers basic Layer 2 network visibility without needing SNMP configuration or dedicated network management servers. It is released under the MIT license and runs on Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows Server operating systems.
