Description

Link Aggregation

Indicates the support of the port for link aggregation, the aggregation
capability of the port, and the aggregation status (that is, whether the
link is in an aggregation).

Maximum Frame Size

Indicates the supported maximum frame size. It is now the MTU of the
port.

LLDP-MED TLVs

LLDP-MED TLVs provide multiple advanced applications for voice over IP (VoIP), such as basic

configuration, network policy configuration, and address and directory management. LLDP-MED TLVs

satisfy the voice device vendors’ requirements for cost effectiveness, ease of deployment, and ease of

management. In addition, LLDP-MED TLVs make deploying voice devices in Ethernet easier.

LLDP-MED TLVs are shown in

specific set of applications.

Extended Power-via-MDI

Allows a network device or MED endpoint to advertise power-related
information (according to IEEE 802.3AF).

Hardware Revision

Allows a MED endpoint device to advertise its hardware version.

Firmware Revision

Software Revision

Allows a MED endpoint to advertise its software version.

Serial Number

Allows an LLDP-MED endpoint device to advertise its serial number.

Manufacturer Name

Allows a MED endpoint to advertise its vendor name.

Model Name

that the user specifies the asset ID for the endpoint to facilitate
directory management and asset tracking.

Location Identification

Allows a network device to advertise the appropriate location identifier
information for an endpoint to use in the context of location-based
applications.

Management address

The management address of a device is used by the network management system to identify and

manage the device for topology maintenance and network management. The management address is

encapsulated in the management address TLV.
