LLDPDUs
LLDP uses LLDPDUs to exchange information. An LLDPDU comprises multiple TLV sequences. Each TLV
carries a type of device information, as shown in
.
Figure 55 LLDPDU encapsulation format
An LLDPDU can carry up to 28 types of TLVs. Mandatory TLVs include Chassis ID TLV, Port ID TLV, Time
to Live TLV, and End of LLDPDU TLV. Other TLVs are optional.
