MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide v6.4.0

Basic TLVs
The controller supports all mandatory and optional TLVs (type, length, value) information elements
that are part of the basic management set.
Mandatory TLVs
The controller always sends these TLVs with the values as shown.
• Chassis ID (Type 1): The MAC address of the controller.
• Port ID (Type 2): The MAC address of the port on which the TLV will be transmitted.
• Time to live (Type 3): Defines the length of time that neighbors will consider LLDP information
sent by this agent to be valid. Calculated by multiplying Transmit interval by the Multiplier
(as defined on the Discovery protocols page).
Optional TLVs
Select the optional TLVs that you want to send with the values as shown.
• Port description (Type 4): A description of the port.
• System name (Type 5): Administrative name assigned to the device from which the TLV
was transmitted. By default this is the SNMP system name. If the Generate dynamic system
name option is enabled, the system name is replaced by the dynamically generated name.
The controller can only have one system name. If both the LAN and Internet ports (LAN
network/Internet network on the MSM720) have active agents, then the name generated
by the LAN port is used.
• System description (Type 6): Description of the system, comprised of the following
information: hardware serial number, hardware revision number, and firmware version.
• System capabilities (Type 7): Indicates the primary function of the device. Set to:
WLAN access point for APs◦
◦ Router for controllers.
• Management IP address (Type 8): The controller always sends a management IP address
TLV containing the IP address of the port. This optional TLV lets you specify a secondary
IP address on which the agent will respond to management requests. If set to 0.0.0.0, no
secondary address is sent.
802.3 TLVs
The IEEE 802.3 organizationally specific TLV set is optional for all LLDP implementations. The
controller supports a single optional TLV from the 802.3 definition: MAC/PHY configuration/status.
This TLV provides the following information:
