Table 22 Fields in an Ethernet II-encapsulated LLDPDU

Field Description

Destination MAC address

The MAC address to which the LLDPDU is advertised. It is fixed to

0x0180-C200-000E, a multicast MAC address.

Source MAC address

The MAC address of the sending port. If the port does not have a MAC
address, the MAC address of the sending bridge is used.

Type

The Ethernet type for the upper layer protocol. It is 0x88CC for LLDP.

Data LLDPDU

FCS

Frame check sequence, a 32-bit CRC value used to determine the validity of
the received Ethernet frame

Table 23 Fields in a SNAP-encapsulated LLDPDU

Field Description

Destination MAC address

The MAC address to which the LLDPDU is advertised. It is fixed at
0x0180-C200-000E, a multicast MAC address.

Source MAC address

The MAC address of the sending port.

Type

The SNAP type for the upper layer protocol. It is 0xAAAA-0300-0000-88CC
for LLDP.

Data LLDPDU

FCS

Frame check sequence, a 32-bit CRC value used to determine the validity of
the received Ethernet frame.

LLDPDUs

LLDP uses LLDPDUs to exchange information. An LLDPDU comprises multiple TLV sequences. Each TLV

carries a type of device information, as shown in
