Note that LLDP is not an option here: switches that support LLDP must not forward these frames. As such, LLDP is only used to discover your direct link partner, not all devices on the subnet. This is in turn done by traversing SNMP nodes that provide information about their neighbours (received via LLDP). I have not yet found an open protocol to implement local subnet device discovery (ideally with optional broadcast mode to detect devices that have no/invalid IP configuration).
