Figure 70. Organizationally Specific TLV
IEEE Organizationally Specific TLVs
Eight TLV types have been defined 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 configure the Dell Networking system to advertise any or all of these TLVs.
Table 35. Optional TLV Types
Type TLV Description
Optional TLVs
4 Port description A user-defined alphanumeric string that
describes the port. The Dell Networking
OS does not currently support this TLV.
5 System name A user-defined alphanumeric string that
identifies the system.
6 System description A user-defined alphanumeric string that
identifies the system.
7 System capabilities Identifies 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 Specific
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 Protocol Identity Indicates the protocols that the port can
process. The Dell Networking OS does
not currently support this TLV.
IEEE 802.3 Organizationally Specific
TLVs
127 MAC/PHY Configuration/Status Indicates the capability and current
setting of the duplex status and bit rate,
and whether the current settings are the
result of auto-negotiation. This TLV is
not available in the Dell Networking OS
implementation of LLDP, but is available
