Configuring LLDP and LLDP-MED
• Inventory management TLV
Allows an endpoint to send detailed inventory information about itself to the switch, including
information hardware revision, firmware version, software version, serial number, manufacturer
name, model name, and asset ID TLV.
• Location TLV
Provides location information from the switch to the endpoint device. The location TLV can send
this information:
–
Civic location information
Provides the civic address information and postal information. Examples of civic location
information are street address, road name, and postal community name information.
–
ELIN location information
Provides the location information of a caller. The location is determined by the Emergency
location identifier number (ELIN), which is a phone number that routes an emergency call to
the local public safety answering point (PSAP) and which the PSAP can use to call back the
emergency caller.
Note LLDP and LLDP-MED cannot operate simultaneously in a network. By default, a network device sends
only LLDP packets until it receives LLDP-MED packets from an endpoint device. The network device
then sends LLDP-MED packets until it receives only LLDP packets.
