If I were to enable LLDP on an in production switch (its connected and has user connected to it and actively is passing traffic) will it cause any network latency or possible outage as lldp sends out request and goes through the process of learning what all is connected?
It shouldn't. If you want to test it out, you should be able to enable LLDP on a per port basis rather than global and see what happens with a test box connected.
