Optional TLV Units
Optional TLV units can be added to an LLDP packet. These optional TLV units enable
vendors to insert vendor-specific TLV units to be advertised. LLDP enables defining additional TLV
units by using organization unique identifiers (OUIs). An OUI identifies the category for a TLV unit
depending on whether the OUI follows the IEEE 802.1 or IEEE 802.3 standard. The LLDP agent
properties can be configured to enable or disable the transmission of these optional TLV
units.
The following table lists each TLV group, its corresponding name, and the TLV units for each
property, and their descriptions. You configure any one of these properties to specify the TLV units
to be included in the packets when LLDP is enabled.
