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 33. 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
whether the current settings are the result
of auto-negotiation. This TLV is not
available in the the Dell Networking OS
implementation of LLDP, but is available
and mandatory (non-congurable) in the
LLDP-MED implementation.
127 Power via MDI Dell Networking supports the LLDP-MED
protocol, which recommends that Power
