◆
Basic Optional TLVs – Configures basic information included in the
TLV field of advertised messages.
■
Management Address – The management address protocol
packet includes the IPv4 address of the switch. If no management
address is available, the address should be the MAC address for the
CPU or for the port sending this advertisement.
The management address TLV may also include information about
the specific interface associated with this address, and an object
identifier indicating the type of hardware component or protocol
entity associated with this address. The interface number and OID
are included to assist SNMP applications in the performance of
network discovery by indicating enterprise specific or other starting
points for the search, such as the Interface or Entity MIB.
Since there are typically a number of different addresses associated
with a Layer 3 device, an individual LLDP PDU may contain more
than one management address TLV.
Every management address TLV that reports an address that is
accessible on a port and protocol VLAN through the particular port
should be accompanied by a port and protocol VLAN TLV that
indicates the VLAN identifier (VID) associated with the management
address reported by this TLV.
■
Port Description – The port description is taken from the ifDescr
object in RFC 2863, which includes information about the
manufacturer, the product name, and the version of the interface
hardware/software.
■
System Capabilities – The system capabilities identifies the
primary function(s) of the system and whether or not these primary
functions are enabled. The information advertised by this TLV is
described in IEEE 802.1AB.
■
System Description – The system description is taken from the
sysDescr object in RFC 3418, which includes the full name and
version identification of the system's hardware type, software
operating system, and networking software.
■
System Name – The system name is taken from the sysName
object in RFC 3418, which contains the system’s administratively
assigned name. To configure the system name, see
