Link Layer Discovery Protocol

– 160 –

Mgmt Addr – The management address protocol packet includes the

IPv4 address of the switch. If no management address is available, the

address should be the MAC address for the CPU or for the port sending

this advertisement.
The management address TLV may also include information about the

specific interface associated with this address, and an object identifier

indicating the type of hardware component or protocol entity associated

with this address. The interface number and OID are included to assist

SNMP applications in the performance of network discovery by

indicating enterprise specific or other starting points for the search,

such as the Interface or Entity MIB.
Since there are typically a number of different addresses associated
with a Layer 3 device, an individual LLDP PDU may contain more than

one management address TLV.
