IEEE Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks-- Station and Media Access Control Connectivity Discovery
Revision Standard - Active.
This document defines a protocol and a set of managed objects that can be used for discovering the physical topology from adjacent stations in IEEE 802(R) LANs.

The scope of this standard is to define a protocol and management elements, suitable for advertising information to stations attached to the same IEEE 802 LAN, for the purpose of populating physical topology and device discovery management information databases.
The protocol facilitates the identification of stations connected by IEEE 802 LANs/MANs, their points of interconnection, and access points for management protocols.
This standard defines a protocol that
An IETF MIB (IETF RFC 2922 [B9]) and a number of vendor specific MIBs have been created to describe a network's physical topology and associated systems within that topology.
This standard specifies the necessary protocol and management elements to:
