Field

Description

 

 

FramesErrors

The number of invalid LLDP frames

 

received on the port, while the LLDP agent

 

is enabled.

 

 

FramesTotal

The number of valid LLDP frames received

 

on the port, while the LLDP agent is

 

enabled.

 

 

TLVsDiscardedTotal

The number of LLDP TLVs discarded for

 

any reason.

 

 

TLVsUnrecognizedTotal

The number of LLDP TLVs received on

 

a given port that are not recognized by

 

this LLDP agent on the indicated port.

 

An unrecognized TLV is referred to as

 

the TLV whose type value is in the range

 

of reserved TLV types (000 1001 - 111

 

1110) in Table 9.1 of IEEE 802.1AB-2004.

 

An unrecognized TLV can be a basic

 

management TLV from a later LLDP

 

version.

 

 

AgeoutsTotal

This counter represents the number of

 

age-outs that occurred on a given port.

 

An age-outis "the number of times the

 

complete set of information advertised by

 

a particular MSAP is deleted from tables

 

contained in lldpRemoteSystemsData

 

and lldpExtensions objects because

 

the information timeliness interval has

 

expired." This counter is similar to

 

lldpStatsRemTablesAgeouts, except that

 

it is on a per-port basis. This enables

 

NMS to poll tables associated with the

 

lldpRemoteSystemsData objects and all

 

LLDP extension objects associated with

 

remote systems on the indicated port only.

 

This counter is set to zero during agent

 

initialization. When the admin status for

 

a port changes from disabled to rxOnly,

 

txOnly or txAndRx, the counter associated

 

with the same port is reset to 0. The agent

 

also flushes all remote system information

 

associated with the same port. This

 

counter is incremented only once when the

 

complete set of information is invalidated

 

(aged out) from all related tables on a

 

particular port. Partial aging is not allowed,

 

and thus, does not change the value of

 

this counter.
