Basic Administration Protocols

Instruction Manual - NXA-ENET8-POE+
Basic Optional TLVs
Configures basic information included in the TLV field of advertised messages.
• Management Address - The management address protocol packet includes the IPv4 address of
the switch. If no management address is available, the address should be the MAC address for
the CPU or for the port sending this advertisement. (Default: Enabled)
The management address TLV may also include information about the specific interface
associated with this address, and an object identifier indicating the type of hardware component
or protocol entity associated with this address. The interface number and OID are included to
assist SNMP applications in the performance of network discovery by indicating enterprise
specific or other starting points for the search, such as the Interface or Entity MIB.
Since there are typically a number of different addresses associated with a Layer 3 device, an
individual LLDP PDU may contain more than one management address TLV.
Every management address TLV that reports an address that is accessible on a port and
protocol VLAN through the particular port should be accompanied by a port and protocol VLAN
TLV that indicates the VLAN identifier (VID) associated with the management address reported
by this TLV.
• Port Description - The port description is taken from the ifDescr object in RFC 2863, which
includes information about the manufacturer, the product name, and the version of the interface
hardware/software. (Default: Enabled)
• System Capabilities - The system capabilities identifies the primary function(s) of the system
and whether or not these primary functions are enabled. The information advertised by this TLV
is described in IEEE 802.1AB. (Default: Enabled)
• System Description - The system description is taken from the sysDescr object in RFC 3418,
which includes the full name and version identification of the system's hardware type, software
operating system, and networking software. (Default: Enabled)
• System Name - The system name is taken from the sysName object in RFC 3418, which contains
the system's administratively assigned name. To configure the system name, see the
section on page 39. (Default: Enabled)
802.1 Organizationally Specific TLVs Configures IEEE 802.1 information included in the TLV field of advertised messages.
• Protocol Identity - The protocols that are accessible through this interface (see the
section on page 92.) (Default: Enabled)
• VLAN ID - The port's default VLAN identifier (PVID) indicates the VLAN with which untagged or
priority-tagged frames are associated (see the
(Default: Enabled)
• VLAN Name - The name of all VLANs to which this interface has been assigned (see the
section on page 87.) (Default: Enabled)
• Port and Protocol VLAN ID - The port-based protocol VLANs configured on this interface (see
the
section on page 92.) (Default: Enabled)
802.3 Organizationally Specific TLVs Configures IEEE 802.3 information included in the TLV field of advertised messages.
• Link Aggregation - The link aggregation capabilities, aggregation status of the link, and the IEEE
802.3 aggregated port identifier if this interface is currently a link aggregation member.
(Default: Enabled)
• Max Frame Size - The maximum frame size. (See the
section on page 41 for information on configuring the maximum frame size for this
switch. (Default: Enabled)
• MAC/PHY Configuration/Status - The MAC/PHY configuration and status which includes
information about auto-negotiation support/capabilities, and operational Multistation Access
Unit (MAU) type. (Default: Enabled)
• PoE - Power-over-Ethernet capabilities, including whether or not PoE is supported, currently
enabled, if the port pins through which power is delivered can be controlled, the port pins
selected to deliver power, and the power class. (Default: Enabled)
MED TLVs
Configures general information included in the MED TLV field of advertised messages.
• Capabilities - This option advertises LLDP-MED TLV capabilities, allowing Media Endpoint and
Connectivity Devices to efficiently discover which LLDP-MED related TLVs are supported on the
switch. (Default: Enabled)
• Extended Power - This option advertises extended Power-over-Ethernet capability details, such
as power availability from the switch, and power state of the switch, including whether the
switch is operating from primary or backup power (the Endpoint Device could use this
information to decide to enter power conservation mode). (Default: Enabled)
• Inventory - This option advertises device details useful for inventory management, such as
manufacturer, model, software version and other pertinent information. (Default: Enabled)
• Location - This option advertises location identification details. (Default: Enabled)
• Network Policy - This option advertises network policy configuration information, aiding in the
discovery and diagnosis of VLAN configuration mismatches on a port. Improper network policy
configurations frequently result in voice quality degradation or complete service disruption.
