Abstract:
Management of network nodes comprised in a communication network. A management node receives, from at least some of said network nodes, LLDP information based on one or more LLDP messages received from neighboring network nodes that are neighbouring said at least some network nodes. The LLDP information comprises security status information regarding said neighbouring network nodes, indicating if a neighbouring network node has been verified to be authentic and indicates if the neighbouring network node has been verified to be not authentic.
