NETGEAR 8800 User Manual Standards-based TLVs Note: The system description TLV is automatically enabled after you enable LLDP and is always sent as part of the LLDPDU. Although this TLV is not mandatory according to the standard, XCM8800 software includes this TLV in all LLDPDUs by default; you can configure the system not to advertise this TLV. This section describes the following optional standards-based TLVs: • Port description TLV on page 160 • System name TLV on page 160 • System description TLV on page 160 • System capabilities TLV on page 161 • Management address TLV on page 161 • VLAN name TLV on page 161 • Port VLAN ID TLV on page 161 • Port and protocol VLAN ID TLV on page 162 • MAC/PHY configuration/status TLV on page 162 • Power via MDI TLV on page 162 • Link aggregation TLV on page 162 • Maximum frame size TLV on page 163 Port description TLV You configure this TLV to be advertised or not advertised. The port description TLV contains the ifDescr object, which is the ASCII string you entered using the configure ports display-string command. If you have not configured this parameter, the TLV carries an empty string. System name TLV You configure this TLV to be advertised or not advertised. The system name TLV contains the device's configured system name, if previously configured using SNMP. This is the sysName as defined in RFC 3418, which you define using the configure snmp sysname command. System description TLV This is the only TLV that is enabled by default but not mandatory according to the standard. The XCM8800 implementation sends this TLV, by default, whenever you enable LLDP on a port. You can disable sending this TLV after you enable LLDP; but, by default, the system sends this TLV. 160 | Chapter 6. LLDP
