Description

Chassis ID SubType

Identifies the chassis containing the IEEE 802 LAN entity associated with the

transmitting LLDP agent. There are several ways in which a chassis may be

identified and a chassis ID subtype is used to indicate the type of component

being referenced by the chassis ID field. The Managed Switch uses MAC

Address

as Chassis ID.

Chassis ID

The Chassis ID is the identification of the Managed Switch's LLDP frames.

System Name

Optional TLV: When checked the "system name" is included in LLDP information

transmitted.

System Description

Optional TLV: When checked the "system description" is included in LLDP

information transmitted.

System Capabilities

Optional TLV: When checked the "system capability" is included in LLDP

information transmitted.

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.

Enable Capabilities

The capabilities that define the primary function(s) of the system.

MED Device Type

Display the information included in the MED TLV field of advertised messages.

Management

Addresses

Optional TLV: When checked the "management address" is included in LLDP

information transmitted.

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

Port ID SubType

Identifies the chassis containing the IEEE 802 LAN entity associated with the

transmitting LLDP agent’s interfaces.

Port ID

The Port ID is the identification of the Managed Switch’s port.

ID Basis

Reference

Chassis component

EntPhysicalAlias when entPhysClass has a value of

‘chassis(3)’ (IETF RFC 2737)

Interface alias

IfAlias (IETF RFC 2863)

Port component

EntPhysicalAlias when entPhysicalClass has a value

‘port(10)’ or ‘backplane(4)’ (IETF RFC 2737)

MAC address

MAC address (IEEE Std 802-2001)
