# Permissions

A normal user has to be member of the _lldpd group in order to run lldpcli.

## Notes on lldpd_flags

Though lldpd_flags is not required to launch lldpd, remember that without 
a specified "-I" option lldpd will be listening on _all_ physical interfaces.

Short examples:

  * Listen only on em0 and enable CDP:
	lldpd_flags="-I em0 -c"
  * Listen on all interfaces, except em0:
	lldpd_flags="-I *,!em0"

A whitelisted interface beats a blacklisted interface which beats a simple
matched interface. See lldpd(8), which contains the complete documentation.

## Compatibility

This port should work equally well on both FreeBSD and DragonFly BSD, though
the later might be a bit less regularly tested.
