logic, better ifdescr support and support for vlan encapsulated
advertisements amongst other things.
Tested on i386, amd64, sparc64 and arm by various people - thanks.
Brad reminded to switch off PIE on hppa.
ok stephan@ jasper@ kili@
nice features. Of note for OpenBSD users especially is the -z option,
which allows setting the interface description to what was received
from the connected switch.
Tested on amd64, sparc64 and vax.
With suggestions from Brad and sthen@. OK sthen.
- support for OpenBSD's SIOCGIFDESCR
- support for hw.vendor and hw.product on OpenBSD
- manpage now lists default user (_ladvd on OpenBSD)
- location support also works for LLDP (-L)
from MAINTAINER Paul de Weerd, thanks!
LADVD uses CDP / LLDP frames to inform switches about connected hosts,
which simplifies ethernet switch management. It does this by creating
the required payloads and descriptors on startup and then switching
to a non-privileged user for the remaining runtime.
