# Use LLDP with 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
