Object

Description

•

Port

The port on which LLDP frames are received or transmitted.

•

Tx Frames

The number of LLDP frames transmitted on the port.

•

RX Frames Discarded

If an LLDP frame is received on a port, and the switch's internal table has run full,

the LLDP frame is counted and discarded. This situation is known as "Too Many

Neighbors" in the LLDP standard. LLDP frames require a new entry in the table

when the Chassis ID or Remote Port ID is not already contained within the table.

Entries are removed from the table when a given port links down, an LLDP

shutdown frame is received, or when the entry ages out.

•

Rx Frame Errors

The number of received LLDP frames containing some kind of error.

•

Rx Frames Total

The number of LLDP frames received on the port.

•

Rx Frames TLVs

Discarded

Each LLDP frame can contain multiple pieces of information, known as TLVs

(TLV is short for "Type Length Value"). If a TLV is malformed, it is counted and

discarded.

•

Rx Frames TLVs

Unrecognized

The number of well-formed TLVs, but with an unknown type value.

•

Rx Frames Ageouts

Each LLDP frame contains information about how long time the LLDP

information is valid (age-out time). If no new LLDP frame is received within the

age out time, the LLDP information is removed, and the Age-Out counter is

incremented.
