Configuring Ports to Send LLDP-MED Civic Location TLVs
Civic location TLVs specify the physical addresses of network devices.
Country, state, street, and building number are only a few examples of the
various types of information civic location TLVs can include.
Unlike some of the other LLDP-MED TLVs, such as the capabilities and
network policy TLVs, which have pre-set values that you cannot change, a
civic location TLV has to be configured before a port will send it. You have
to create an entry with the relevant location information, apply it to one or
more ports on the switch, and then configure the ports to send it as their
civic location TLV.
Here are the main steps to creating civic location TLVs:
1. Starting in the Global Configuration mode, use the LOCATION CIVIC-
LOCATION command to assign an ID number to the new Civic
Location entry. The command moves you to the Civic mode.
2. Use the parameters in the Civic mode to configure the settings of the
entry. An abbreviated list of the parameters is shown in Table 126. For
the complete list, refer to Table 130 on page 1285.
