Dot1 TLV Protocol
Identity
Use the drop-down menu to enable or disable the advertised Protocol Identity. This TLV
optional data type indicates whether the corresponding Local System’s Protocol Identity
instance will be transmitted on the port. The Protocol Identity TLV provides a way for stations
to advertise protocols that are important to the operation of the network. Such as Spanning
Tree Protocol, the Link Aggregation Control Protocol, and numerous vendor proprietary
variations are responsible for maintaining the topology and connectivity of the network. If
EAPOL, GVRP, STP (including MSTP), and LACP protocol identity is enabled on this port and
it is enabled to be advertised, then this protocol identity will be advertised.

LLDP Dot3 TLVs Settings
This window is used to configure an individual port or group of ports to exclude one or more IEEE 802.3 organizational
specific TLV data types from outbound LLDP advertisements.

The following parameters can be set:
Parameter Description
From Port /To Port
Use the drop-down menu to select a range of ports to be configured.
MAC/PHY
Configuration
Status
This TLV optional data type indicates that the LLDP agent should transmit 'MAC/PHY
configuration/status TLV'. This indicates it is possible for two ends of an IEEE 802.3 link to be
configured with different duplex and/or speed settings and still establish some limited network
connectivity. More precisely, the information includes whether the port supports the auto-
negotiation function, whether the function is enabled, whether it has auto-negotiated
advertised capability, and what is the operational MAU type. The default state is
Disabled
.
Link Aggregation
The Link Aggregation option indicates that LLDP agents should transmit 'Link Aggregation
TLV'. This indicates the current link aggregation status of IEEE 802.3 MACs. More precisely,
the information should include whether the port is capable of doing link aggregation, whether
the port is aggregated in an aggregated link, and what is the aggregated port ID. The default
state is
Disabled
.
Maximum Frame
Size
The Maximum Frame Size indicates that LLDP agent should transmit 'Maximum-frame-size
TLV. The default state is
Disabled
.
