ANTA catalog for connectivity tests

VerifyLLDPNeighbors

Verifies that the provided LLDP neighbors are present and connected with the correct configuration.

Expected Results

• Success: The test will pass if each of the provided LLDP neighbors is present and connected to the specified port and device.
• Failure: The test will fail if any of the following conditions are met:
  • The provided LLDP neighbor is not found.
  • The system name or port of the LLDP neighbor does not match the provided information.
