Location Identification TLV, Inventory TLV

Location Identification TLV	The Location Identification TLV provides for advertisement of
	location identifier information to Communication Endpoint
	Devices, based on configuration of the Network Connectivity
	Device it's connected to. You can set the Location Identification
	content in Location Identification Parameters. If Location
	Identification TLV is included and Location Identification
	Parameters isn't set, a default value is used in Location
	Identification TLV.

Extended Power-Via-MDI TLV	The Extended Power-Via-MDI TLV is intended to enable
	advanced power management between LLDP-MED Endpoint
	and Network Connectivity Devices, and it allows advertisement
	of fine grained power requirement details, Endpoint power
	priority, as well as both Endpoint and Network Connectivity
	Device power status.

Inventory TLV	The Inventory TLV set contains seven basic Inventory
	management TLVs, that is, Hardware Revision TLV, Firmware
	Revision TLV, Software Revision TLV, Serial Number TLV,
	Manufacturer Name TLV, Model Name TLV and Asset ID TLV.
	If support for any of the TLVs in the Inventory Management set
	is implemented, then support for all Inventory Management
	TLVs shall be implemented.

LLDP-MED is configured on the Global Config, Port Config, Local Info and Neighbor Info pages.
