How to use decodeLinkLayerDiscovery in lldp.go?


I would like to decode informations in a LLDP packet : lldp.go do it with decodeLinkLayerDiscovery function but I don't know how to use it. For example, I want to get value of MgmtAddress. How can I do it ?

func readLLDP(handle *pcap.Handle, iface *net.Interface, stop chan struct{}) {
    src := gopacket.NewPacketSource(handle, layers.LayerTypeEthernet)
    in := src.Packets()

    p := gopacket.PacketBuilder{}

    p.AddLayer()

    for {
        var packet gopacket.Packet
        select {
        case <-stop:
            return
        case packet = <-in:
            lldpLayer := packet.Layer(layers.LayerTypeLinkLayerDiscovery)
            if lldpLayer == nil {
                continue
            }
            lldp := lldpLayer.(*layers.LinkLayerDiscovery)

            var chassisID string
            switch lldp.ChassisID.Subtype {
            case layers.LLDPChassisIDSubTypeMACAddr:
                chassisID = net.HardwareAddr(lldp.ChassisID.ID).String()
            default:
                chassisID = string(lldp.ChassisID.ID)
            }
            log.Printf("[%v] ChassisID %v", iface.Name, chassisID)
        }
    }
}

Solution

  • I found solution, I must use LayerTypeLinkLayerDiscoveryInfo :

        lldpLayerInfos := packet.Layer(layers.LayerTypeLinkLayerDiscoveryInfo)
        if lldpLayerInfos == nil {
            continue
        }
        lldpInfos := lldpLayerInfos.(*layers.LinkLayerDiscoveryInfo)
        log.Printf("[%v] ************************************************", iface.Name)
        log.Printf("[%v] PortDescription : %s", iface.Name, lldpInfos.PortDescription)
        log.Printf("[%v] SysName : %s", iface.Name, lldpInfos.SysName)
        log.Printf("[%v] SysDescription : %s", iface.Name, lldpInfos.SysDescription)
        var mgmtAddress string
        switch lldpInfos.MgmtAddress.Subtype {
        case layers.IANAAddressFamilyIPV4:
            mgmtAddress = net.IP(lldpInfos.MgmtAddress.Address).String()
        default:
            mgmtAddress = string(lldpInfos.MgmtAddress.Address)
        }
        log.Printf("[%v] MgmtAddress : %s", iface.Name, mgmtAddress)
