9The Link Layer Discovery Protocol sample application for Zephyr will enable
10LLDP support and setup VLANs if needed.

12The source code for this sample application can be found at:
13:zephyr_file:`samples/net/lldp`.

20Building and Running
21********************
22
23A good way to run this sample LLDP application is inside QEMU,
24as described in :ref:`networking_with_qemu` or with embedded device like
25FRDM-K64F. Note that LLDP is only supported for boards that have an ethernet
26port.

28Follow these steps to build the LLDP sample application:

37Setting up Linux Host
38=====================
39
40If you need VLAN support in your network, then the
41:zephyr_file:`samples/net/vlan/vlan-setup-linux.sh` provides a script that can be
42executed on the Linux host. It creates two VLANs on the Linux host and creates
43routes to Zephyr.
