# 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 --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
