3 — Time-to-live Number of seconds that the recipient LLDP agent considers the information associated with this MAP
identifier to be valid.
— Optional Includes sub-types of TLVs that advertise specific configuration information. These sub-types are
management TLVs, IEEE 802.1, IEEE 802.3, and TIA-1057 organization-specific TLVs.
Optional TLVs
OS10 supports basic TLVs, IEEE 802.1, and 802.3 organizationally-specific TLVs, and TIA-1057 organizationally-specific TLVs. A
basic TLV is an optional TLV sub-type. This kind of TLV contains essential management information about the sender.
A professional organization or vendor can define organizationally-specific TLVs. They have two mandatory fields, in addition to
the basic TLV fields.
Organizationally-specific TLVs
There are eight TLV types defined by the 802.1 and 802.3 working groups as a basic part of LLDP. Configure OS10 to advertise
any or all of these TLVs.
Optional TLVs
