◆
Port ID – A string that contains the specific identifier for the port from
which this LLDPDU was transmitted.
◆
System Name – A string that indicates the system’s administratively
assigned name.
Port Details
◆
Local Port – The local port to which a remote LLDP-capable device is
attached.
◆
Chassis Type – Identifies the chassis containing the IEEE 802 LAN
entity associated with the transmitting LLDP agent. There are several
ways in which a chassis may be identified and a chassis ID subtype is
used to indicate the type of component being referenced by the chassis
ID field. (See Table 17, "Chassis ID Subtype," on page 345 .)
◆ Chassis ID – An octet string indicating the specific identifier for the
particular chassis in this system.
◆ System Name – A string that indicates the system’s assigned name.
◆ System Description – A textual description of the network entity.
◆ Management Address – The IPv4 address of the remote device. If no
management address is available, the address should be the MAC
address for the CPU or for the port sending this advertisement.
◆ Port Type – Indicates the basis for the identifier that is listed in the
Port ID field.
◆
Port Description – A string that indicates the port’s description. If RFC
2863 is implemented, the ifDescr object should be used for this field.
◆
Port ID – A string that contains the specific identifier for the port from
which this LLDPDU was transmitted.
