TLVs provide a cost-effective and easy-to-use solution for deploying voice devices in Ethernet.

LLDP-MED TLVs are shown in

Table 24

.

Table 24 LLDP-MED TLVs

Type Description

LLDP-MED Capabilities

Allows a network device to advertise the LLDP-MED TLVs that it
supports.

Network Policy

Allows a network device or terminal device to advertise the VLAN
ID of a port, the VLAN type, and the Layer 2 and Layer 3 priorities

for specific applications.

Extended Power-via-MDI

Allows a network device or terminal device to advertise power
supply capability. This TLV is an extension of the Power Via MDI
TLV.

Hardware Revision

Allows a terminal device to advertise its hardware version.

Firmware Revision

Allows a terminal device to advertise its firmware version.

Software Revision

Allows a terminal device to advertise its software version.

Serial Number

Allows a terminal device to advertise its serial number.

Manufacturer Name

Allows a terminal device to advertise its vendor name.

Model Name

Allows a terminal device to advertise its model name.

Asset ID

Allows a terminal device to advertise its asset ID. The typical case
is that the user specifies the asset ID for the endpoint to facilitate
directory management and asset tracking.

Location Identification

Allows a network device to advertise the appropriate location
identifier information for a terminal device to use in the context of

location-based applications.

NOTE:

If the MAC/PHY configuration/status TLV is not advertisable, none of the LLDP-MED TLVs will be
advertised even if they are advertisable.

If the LLDP-MED capabilities TLV is not advertisable, the other LLDP-MED TLVs will not be advertised
even if they are advertisable.

Management address

The network management system uses the management address of a device to identify and manage the
device for topology maintenance and network management. The management address is encapsulated

in the management address TLV.

Working mechanism

LLDP operating modes

An LLDP agent can operate in one of the following modes:

TxRx mode—An LLDP agent in this mode can send and receive LLDP frames.

Tx mode—An LLDP agent in this mode can only send LLDP frames.

Rx mode—An LLDP agent in this mode can only receive LLDP frames.
