I can't see ifname anywhere, wondering if it is a script error.

what do you mean you can not see it.. its right here in your output

"Port Subtype = Interface name, Id: gi1"

subtype is interface name or ifname ;)

@NogBadTheBad:

Looking good, one slight issue, marked in red :-
  Port:       
    PortID:      ifname gi1
    PortDescr:    gigabitethernet1

I don't understand. Why is this an issue?

[NogBadTheBad]

Normally ( I'm used to output from a Cisco ) you see the port or the MAC address :-

It just looked a little odd :)

[johnpoz]

I don't think its any sort of "issue"… But would be slicker looking if was broken out into the subtype line vs listed on the port id is all..

[dennypage]

Just FYI, the version of lldpd currently distributed for pfSense is 0.9.4 because this was the version available in FreeBSD Ports at the time the package was introduced. The current version of lldpd is 0.9.9, which has just been committed to FreeBSD Ports. Movement into the pfSense repo is pending.

I can't disagree, however the format of status data is from upstream rather than the pfSense package. The output is directly from the command lldpcli show neighbors.

[NogBadTheBad]

Ah i was trying to figure out how you were getting the output.

[lldpcli] # show nei

The status page code is pretty simple. You can see it in /usr/local/www/lldpd_status.php.

[ColinDexter]

Is it also possible to add VLAN information?

And would be nice if next to the port name also I the interface name is mention.

You do see vlan info:-

Unless you mean from pfSense:-

[ColinDexter]

Yes I mean of pfsense. That’s why I have installed the packages lldpd on pfsense. And if I connect a fluke network analyzer at the ports of pfsense, I don't get VLAN information anywhere.
