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.

IEEE OUI is 00-80-C2. You can configure the Dell Networking system to advertise any or all of these TLVs.
