Description

current lldp implementation on vyos does not provide very much information; you can only see the remote device platform and port description, but there is no way to view management IP, remote port, PVID, etc.

i remember vyos used to do this, but it appears to have been removed at some point in the 1.5 (or 1.4?) rolling release.

can vyos re-implement the following commands?
show lldp neighbors details - analogous to lldpctl
show lldp neighbors interface eth0 detail - analogous to lldpctl eth0

additionally the "remote port" column prints out the PortDescr element instead of interface name, which can be confusing. is it more logical to use the PortID element which corresponds to the neighbor/remote physical port?

in my example the remote port Gi0/2 has the description "lab-rt1"

asw1#show running-config interface gigabitEthernet 0/2
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 166 bytes
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/2
 description lab-rt1
[...]

which vyos uses as the remote port

testuser@testlab1:~$ show lldp neighbors
