LLDP-MED (media endpoint discovery) TLVs

Basic management TLVs are essential to device management.
Organizationally specific TLVs and LLDP-MED TLVs are used for enhanced device management. They are

defined by standardization or other organizations and are optional to LLDPDUs.

Basic management TLVs

Table 25

lists the basic management TLV types. Some of them must be included in every LLDPDU.

Table 25 Basic management TLVs

Type Description

Remarks

Chassis ID

Bridge MAC address of the sending device.

Mandatory.

Port ID

ID of the sending port:

If the LLDPDU carries LLDP-MED TLVs, the port ID TLV carries

the MAC address of the sending port.

Otherwise, the port ID TLV carries the port name.

Time To Live

Life of the transmitted information on the receiving device.

End of LLDPDU

Marks the end of the TLV sequence in the LLDPDU.

Port Description

Port description of the sending port.

Optional.

System Name

Assigned name of the sending device.

System Description

Description of the sending device.

System Capabilities

Identifies the primary functions of the sending device and the
enabled primary functions.

Management Address

Management address, and the interface number and object
identifier (OID) associated with the address.

IEEE 802.1 organizationally specific TLVs

Table 26 IEEE 802.1 organizationally specific TLVs

Type Description

Port VLAN ID

Port VLAN identifier (PVID). An LLDPDU carries only one TLV of this type.

Port And Protocol VLAN ID

Indicates whether the device supports protocol VLANs and, if so, what
VLAN IDs these protocols will be associated with. An LLDPDU can carry

multiple different TLVs of this type.

VLAN Name

Textual name of any VLAN to which the port belongs. An LLDPDU can
carry multiple different TLVs of this type.

Protocol Identity

Indicates protocols supported on the port. An LLDPDU can carry multiple
different TLVs of this type.

DCBX

Data center bridging exchange protocol.

NOTE:

H3C devices support only receiving protocol identity TLVs.

Layer 3 Ethernet ports do not support IEEE 802.1 organizationally specific TLVs.

IEEE 802.3 organizationally specific TLVs
