Basic management TLVs
•
• Organizationally (IEEE 802.1 and IEEE 802.3) specific TLVs
LLDP-MED (media endpoint discovery) TLVs
•
Basic management TLVs are essential to device management.
Organizationally specific TLVs and LLDP-MED TLVs are used for improved device management. They are
defined by standardization or other organizations and are optional to LLDPDUs.

Description
Specifies the bridge MAC address of the sending device.
Specifies the ID of the sending port.
•
If the LLDPDU carries LLDP-MED TLVs, the port ID TLV
carries the MAC address of the sending port or the
bridge MAC in case the port does not have a MAC
address.
•
Otherwise, the port ID TLV carries the port name.
Specifies the life of the transmitted information on the
receiving device.
Marks the end of the TLV sequence in the LLDPDU.
Specifies the port description of the sending port.
Specifies the assigned name of the sending device.
Specifies the description of the sending device.
Identifies the primary functions of the sending device and
the enabled primary functions.
Specifies the following elements:
•
The management address used to reach higher level
entities to assist discovery by network management.
•
The interface number and OID associated with the
address.
Description
Specifies the port's VLAN identifier (PVID). An LLDPDU carries only
one TLV of this type.
Indicates whether the device supports protocol VLANs and, if so,
what VLAN IDs these protocols will be associated with. An LLDPDU
can carry multiple different TLVs of this type.
Specifies the textual name of any VLAN to which the port belongs.
An LLDPDU can carry multiple different TLVs of this type.
