LLDPDUs
LLDP uses LLDPDUs to exchange information. An LLDPDU comprises multiple type, length, and value (TLV)
sequences. Each TLV carries a type of device information, as shown in
Figure 59 LLDPDU encapsulation format
Description
The MAC address to which the LLDPDU is advertised. It is fixed to
0x0180-C200-000E, a multicast MAC address.
The MAC address of the sending port. If the port does not have a MAC
address, the MAC address of the sending bridge is used.
The Ethernet type for the upper layer protocol. It is 0x88CC for LLDP.
LLDP data unit (LLDPDU)
Frame check sequence, a 32-bit CRC value used to determine the validity of
the received Ethernet frame
