TIA-1057 (LLDP-MED) Overview

Link Layer Discovery Protocol—Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED)—as defined by ANSI/
TIA-1057— provides additional organizationally specific TLVs so that endpoint devices and network
connectivity devices can advertise their characteristics and configuration information; the OUI for the
Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) is 00-12-BB.
• LLDP-MED Endpoint Device—any device that is on an IEEE 802 LAN network edge can
communicate using IP and uses the LLDP-MED framework.
• LLDP-MED Network Connectivity Device—any device that provides access to an IEEE 802 LAN
to an LLDP-MED endpoint device and supports IEEE 802.1AB (LLDP) and TIA-1057 (LLDP-MED).
The Dell Force10 system is an LLDP-MED network connectivity device.
586 | Link Layer Discovery Protocol
Description
Identifies the chassis as one or more of the following: repeater, bridge, WLAN
Access Point, Router, Telephone, DOCSIS cable device, end station only, or
other
Indicates the network address of the management interface. FTOS does not
currently support this TLV.
On Dell Force10 systems, indicates the untagged VLAN to which a port
belongs
On Dell Force10 systems, indicates the tagged VLAN to which a port belongs
(and the untagged VLAN to which a port belongs if the port is in hybrid mode)
Indicates the user-defined alphanumeric string that identifies the VLAN. This
TLV is supported on C-Series only.
Indicates the protocols that the port can process. FTOS does not currently
support this TLV.
Indicates the capability and current setting of the duplex status and bit rate, and
whether the current settings are the result of auto-negotiation. This TLV is not
available in the FTOS implementation of LLDP, but is available and mandatory
(non-configurable) in the LLDP-MED implementation.
Dell Force10 supports LLDP-MED protocol, which recommends that Power
via MDI TLV be not implemented, and therefore Dell Force10 implements
Extended Power via MDI TLV only.
Indicates whether the link is capable of being aggregated, whether it is currently
in a LAG, and the port identification of the LAG. FTOS does not currently
support this TLV.
Indicates the maximum frame size capability of the MAC and PHY
