LLDPDUs

LLDP uses LLDPDUs to exchange information. An LLDPDU comprises multiple TLVs. Each TLV carries a type

of device information, as shown in

Figure 82

.

Figure 82 LLDPDU encapsulation format

An LLDPDU can carry up to 28 types of TLVs. Mandatory TLVs include Chassis ID TLV, Port ID TLV, Time
To Live TLV, and End of LLDPDU TLV. Other TLVs are optional.

TLVs
