Command Usage
◆
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.
The interface number and OID are included to assist SNMP applications to
perform network discovery by indicating enterprise specific or other starting
points for the search, such as the Interface or Entity MIB.
◆
Since there are typically a number of different addresses associated with a
Layer 3 device, an individual LLDP PDU may contain more than one
management address TLV.
◆
Every management address TLV that reports an address that is accessible on a
port and protocol VLAN through the particular port should be accompanied by
a port and protocol VLAN TLV that indicates the VLAN identifier (VID)
associated with the management address reported by this TLV.
