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 enhanced device management, and they are defined by standardization or
other organizations and are optional to LLDPDUs.
1. Basic management TLVs:
Table 22 lists the basic management TLV types. Some of them are mandatory to LLDPDUs, that is,
must be included in every LLDPDU.

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 if the port
does not have a MAC address. If the LLDPDU carries no LLDP-MED
TLVs, 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 management address, and the interface number and
OID associated with the address.
Description
Specifies the 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 name of any VLAN to which the port belongs. An LLDPDU can
carry multiple different TLVs of this type.
Indicates protocols supported on the port. An LLDPDU can carry multiple
different TLVs of this type.
Data center bridging exchange protocol.
