# Description: Tag ports with keywords matched with LLDP info
# Since this script doesn't change any operational parameters of an NPB, it could be run as often as needed to keep the port tags updated
# 1. Starting point is an Ixia Vision NPB with all required ports enabled and receiving LLDP info from neighbors
# 2. Input parameters to this script enumerate which keywords to look in LLDP Port Description field
# 3. Connect to an NPB and collect LLDP Neighbors info
# 4. Compare LLDP Port Description info with supplied keywords, identify matches
# 5. Tag indentified ports with the matching keywords

# Model to operate
# NPB
