LLDP-MED Capabilities TLV

The LLDP-MED capabilities TLV communicates the types of TLVs that the endpoint device and the

network connectivity device support. LLDP-MED network connectivity devices must transmit the

Network Policies TLV.

• The value of the LLDP-MED capabilities field in the TLV is a 2–octet bitmap, each bit represents an

LLDP-MED capability (as shown in the following table).

• The possible values of the LLDP-MED device type are shown in the following. The Dell Networking

system is a network connectivity device, which is Type 4.

When you enable LLDP-MED in Dell Networking OS (using the advertise med command), the system
begins transmitting this TLV.
