LLDP frame formats

LLDP sends device information in LLDP frames. LLDP frames are encapsulated in Ethernet II or SNAP

frames.

Table 19 Fields in an Ethernet II-encapsulated LLDP frame

Field Description

Destination MAC address

MAC address to which the LLDP frame is advertised. LLDP specifies
different multicast MAC addresses as destination MAC addresses for LLDP

frames destined for agents of different types. This helps distinguish
between LLDP frames sent and received by different agent types on the

same interface. The destination MAC address is fixed to one of the

following multicast MAC addresses:

0x0180-C200-000E for LLDP frames destined for nearest bridge

agents.

0x0180-C200-0000 for LLDP frames destined for nearest customer

bridge agents.

0x0180-C200-0003 for LLDP frames destined for nearest non-TPMR

bridge agents.

Source MAC address

MAC address of the sending port.

Type

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

Data

LLDPDU. An LLDP frame contains only one LLDPDU.

FCS

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