What is lldpRemPortDesc?

This object contains a descriptive string that identifies a port on a remote network device, as advertised via the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP). Operators use this information to correlate physical network connections and build an inventory of neighboring devices and their port descriptions. The description helps network administrators quickly identify which physical ports on remote equipment are connected to their local network.
