7.2.3.9 Management Address TLV
The Management Address is the address associated with the local LLDP agent that may be used to reach
higher layers within the device to assist with LLDP operations. Typically, this indicates how to reach the LLDP
MIB. The Management Address TLV contains three fields: Management Address, Interface Number, and Object
Identifier (OID).
Management Address
The Management Address indicates the management address of this device. For the RX3i PROFINET Controller,
the management address is the IP Address of the device.

Interface Number
The Interface Number identifies a specific interface or port at the specified management address. Thus, the
interface number varies with the network port number. The RX3i Controller uses the current network port
number.

Object Identifier (OID)
The OID specifies a MIB object (typically the LLDP MIB) in ASN.1 format that is reachable at the specified
management address and interface number. A length of zero means that an OID is not provided. The OID value
is internally assigned by, and meaningful only to, the LLDP device.
