Figure 67. Organizationally Specic TLVs
IEEE Organizationally Specic TLVs
Eight TLV types have been dened by the IEEE 802.1 and 802.3 working groups as a basic part of LLDP; the IEEE OUI is 00-80-C2. You
can congure the Dell Networking system to advertise any or all of these TLVs.
Table 37. Optional TLV Types
Type TLV Description
Optional TLVs
4 Port description A user-dened alphanumeric string that
describes the port. The Dell Networking OS
does not currently support this TLV.
5 System name A user-dened alphanumeric string that
identies the system.
6 System description A user-dened alphanumeric string that
identies the system.
7 System capabilities Identies the chassis as one or more of the
following: repeater, bridge, WLAN Access
Point, Router, Telephone, DOCSIS cable
device, end station only, or other.
8 Management address Indicates the network address of the
management interface. The Dell Networking
OS does not currently support this TLV.
IEEE 802.1 Organizationally Specic TLVs
127 Port-VLAN ID On Dell Networking systems, indicates the
untagged VLAN to which a port belongs.
127 Port and Protocol VLAN ID On Dell Networking systems, indicates the
tagged VLAN to which a port belongs (and
the untagged VLAN to which a port belongs
if the port is in Hybrid mode).
127 VLAN Name Indicates the user-dened alphanumeric
string that identies the VLAN.
127 Protocol Identity Indicates the protocols that the port can
process. The Dell Networking OS does not
currently support this TLV.
IEEE 802.3 Organizationally Specic TLVs
127 MAC/PHY Conguration/Status Indicates the capability and current setting
of the duplex status and bit rate, and
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) 477
