Hi!, is there any project to improve Huawei network gear support?, currently there is some useful info that's missing, for example the neighbours view that we have with Cisco/CDP
Huawei supports LLDP but that info is no available currently (rev3745).
Regards,
Many vendors seem to implement LLDP in a manner which makes it useless, this might be the case for Huawei.
The specification doesn't actually force people to return useful data, it allows them to return quite pointless data, so you end up not being able to work out what port things are connected to and sometimes even what host is connected.

Well, actually I don't see vlan has a port attribute or the LLDP information on a snmpwalk output, I'll see if there's something that need to be enabled on the other side...

By the way, PVID information is also missing... (present in Cisco switches).
