RUT360 support for LLDP

NETWORKING SOLUTIONS
1

Hi, I’m trying to add package for LLDP support (used for network discovery of Profinet based devices) with following commands:
opkg -e /etc/opkg/openwrt/distfeeds.conf update
opkg -e /etc/opkg/openwrt/distfeeds.conf install lldpd

Seems that package was installed fine:

opkg -e /etc/opkg/openwrt/distfeeds.conf update

But after reboot of router, I’m still not able to discover any devices over LLDP. Any ideas? Thanks

Hello,

Apologies for a delayed response.

Could you confirm whether you’re still experiencing the LLDP discovery issue after installing the lldpd package and rebooting the device?

I haven’t noticed similar behavior on my end using RUT360 (FW: 7.12.3).

Additionally, could you check if the lldpd service is enabled after the reboot? You can verify this with the following command:

/etc/init.d/lldpd status

If it’s not running, please try enabling it with:

/etc/init.d/lldpd start

Or adding this command into the startup script on the System → Maintenance → Custom Scripts page.

Best regards,
