get_lldp_neighbors() existed but spoke to the older CLI generation: it ran
`show lldp remote-device all` and expected FASTPATH-style `0/1` ports in
whitespace-separated columns. v7 firmware answers `Unknown command` — as it
does for `show lldp remote-device`, a bare `show lldp`, and the plural
`show lldp neighbors`. Only the singular works, though `show ?` lists `lldp`
plainly enough:
Port | Device ID | Port ID | SysName | ...
---- + ----------------- + ---------------- + ----------------- + ...
g9 | 10:01:02:44:37:26 |10:01:02:44:37:28 | pve-eze.eze.local | ...
Ports are named g9, and the columns are separated by `|` with irregular
padding, so splitting on whitespace tears the values apart. The port ID is
not always a port name either — a neighbour may identify its port by MAC.
_get_lldp_table() now branches on _detect_cli_v7() into a second parser, the
same shape get_mac_address_table() already uses for this divergence.
get_lldp_neighbors() itself is untouched.
Confirmed against a GS110TPv3 on 7.1.1.17: _detect_cli_v7() returns True
there, and the switch reports two neighbours it had never surfaced. Without
them NetOrk's map had nothing to draw for the site this switch serves, so
four APs and a firewall behind it stood unconnected.

CLI notes
- Netmiko device type:
netgear_prosafe - Prompt pattern:
(hostname) >/(hostname) #/(hostname) (Config)# - Interface naming:
0/1,0/2, … (slot/port); LAG channels:ch1,ch2, … - Config is persisted with
write memory - Key-value output uses
Key: valueorKey..... valuenotation depending on firmware generation — both are handled automatically
