Use LLDP with Cameras

Use LLDP to discover information about your Verkada cameras

Verkada cameras support the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP). LLDP is a standard link layer protocol used across various network devices to advertise their identity, capabilities, and neighbors in a local area network (LAN).

The primary value of using LLDP is to manage network integrations and troubleshooting. For example, a network admin can quickly identify which Verkada device is connected to a particular switch port or configure a policy to automatically reconfigure the port based on specific LLDP information.

Verkada cameras advertise the following information every 30 seconds:

• Device ID
• Firmware revision
• Serial number
• Manufacturer name (Verkada)
• Model name
• Extreme Fabric Connect TLV
• Auto-negotiation capabilities
