IEEE Organizationally Specic TLVs
Eight TLV types have been dened 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 congure 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-dened alphanumeric string that
describes the port. Dell Networking OS does
not currently support this TLV.
5 System name A user-dened alphanumeric string that
identies the system.
6 System description A user-dened alphanumeric string that
identies the system.
7 System capabilities Identies 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. Dell Networking OS
does not currently support this TLV.
IEEE 802.1 Organizationally Specic 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. Dell Networking OS does not
currently support this TLV.
IEEE 802.3 Organizationally Specic TLVs
127 MAC/PHY Conguration/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 and mandatory (non-
