p
tion
Destination MAC address
MAC address to which the LLDP frame is advertised. It is fixed to
0x0180-C200-000E, a multicast MAC address.
Source MAC address
MAC address of the sending port. If the port does not have a MAC
address, the MAC address of the sending bridge is used.
Type
SNAP type for the upper layer protocol. It is
0xAAAA-0300-0000-88CC for LLDP.
Data LLDPDU.
FCS
Frame check sequence, a 32-bit CRC value used to determine the
validity of the received Ethernet frame.
LLDPDUs
LLDP uses LLDPDUs to exchange information. An LLDPDU comprises multiple TLVs. Each TLV carries a type
of device information, as shown in Figure 197.

psulation format
An LLDPDU can carry up to 28 types of TLVs. Mandatory TLVs include Chassis ID TLV, Port ID TLV, Time
to Live TLV, and End of LLDPDU TLV. Other TLVs are optional.
TLVs
A TLV is an information element that contains the type, length, and value fields.
LLDPDU TLVs include the following categories:
