TLV Type

Configures the information included in the TLV field of advertised messages.

-Port Description – The port description is taken from the ifDescr object in RFC

2863, which includes information about the manufacturer, the product name, and

the version of the interface hardware/software.

-System Description – The system description is taken from the sysDescr

object in RFC 3418, which includes the full name and version identification of the

system's hardware type, software operating system, and networking software.

-Management Address – 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.

Every management address TLV that reports an address that is accessible on a

port and protocol VLAN through the particular port should be accompanied by a

port and protocol VLAN TLV that indicates the VLAN identifier (VID) associated

with the management address reported by this TLV.

-System Name – The system name is taken from the sysName object in RFC

3418, which contains the system’s administratively assigned name. To configure

the system name, see “Displaying System Information”.

-System Capabilities – The system capabilities identifies the primary function(s)

of the system and whether or not these primary functions are enabled. The

information advertised by this TLV is described in IEEE 802.1AB.

MED TLV Type

Configures the information included in the MED TLV field of advertised

messages.

-Port Capabilities – This option advertises LLDP-MED TLV capabilities, allowing

Media Endpoint and Connectivity Devices to efficiently discover which

LLDP-MED related TLVs are supported on the switch.

-Network Policy – This option advertises network policy configuration
