Management TLVs
A management TLV is an optional TLVs sub-type. This kind of TLV contains essential management
information about the sender.
Organizationally Specific TLVs
A professional organization or a vendor can define organizationally specific TLVs. They have two
mandatory fields (as shown in the following illustration) in addition to the basic TLV fields.
• Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI)—a unique number assigned by the IEEE to an organization or
vendor.
• OUI Sub-type—These sub-types indicate the kind of information in the following data field. The sub-
types are determined by the owner of the OUI.
