Note:

For detailed introduction of TLV, please refer to IEEE 802.1AB standard and ANSI/TIA-1057.

In TP-LINK switch, the following LLDP optional TLVs are supported.

TLV Type

Description

 

 

Port Description TLV

The Port Description TLV allows network management to

 

advertise the IEEE 802 LAN station's port description.

 

 

System Capabilities TLV

The System Capabilities TLV identifies the primary functions of

 

the system and whether or not these primary functions are

 

enabled.

 

 

System Description TLV

The System Description TLV allows network management to

 

advertise the system's description, which should include the full

 

name and version identification of the system's hardware type,

 

software operating system, and networking software.

 

 

System Name TLV

The System Name TLV allows network management to

 

advertise the system's assigned name, which should be the

 

system's fully qualified domain name.

 

 

Management Address TLV

The Management Address TLV identifies an address associated

 

with the local LLDP agent that may be used to reach higher

 

entities to assist discovery by network management.

 

 

Port VLAN ID TLV

The Port VLAN ID TLV allows a VLAN bridge port to advertise

 

the port's VLAN identifier (PVID) that will be associated with

 

untagged or priority tagged frames.

 

 

Port And Protocol VLAN ID

The Port And Protocol VLAN ID TLV allows a bridge port to

TLV

advertise a port and protocol VLAN ID.

 

 

VLAN Name TLV

The VLAN Name TLV allows an IEEE 802.1Q-compatible IEEE

 

802 LAN station to advertise the assigned name of any VLAN

 

with which it is configured.

 

 

Link Aggregation TLV

The Link Aggregation TLV indicates whether the link is capable

 

of being aggregated, whether the link is currently in an

 

aggregation, and if in an aggregation, the port identification of

 

the aggregation.

 

 

MAC/PHY

The MAC/PHY Configuration/Status TLV identifies: a)The duplex

Configuration/Status TLV

and bit-rate capability of the sending IEEE 802.3 LAN node that

 

is connected to the physical medium; b)The current duplex and

 

bit-rate settings of the sending IEEE 802.3 LAN node; c)Whether

 

these settings are the result of auto-negotiation during link

 

initiation or of manual set override action.

 

 

Max Frame Size TLV

The Maximum Frame Size TLV indicates the maximum frame

 

size capability of the implemented MAC and PHY.

 

 

Power Via MDI TLV

The Power Via MDI TLV allows network management to

 

advertise and discover the MDI power support capabilities of the

 

sending IEEE 802.3 LAN station.
