4 Port Description Identifies the description string of the port. Optional
5 System Name Identifies the system name. Optional
6 System

Optional
8 Management
Address

Optional
127 Organizationally
Specific
Allows different organizations, such as IEEE
802.1, IEEE 802.3, IETF, as well as individual
software and equipment vendors, to define TLVs
that advertise information to remote device.
Optional
Optional TLVs are grouped into two categories including basic management TLV and
Organizationally-specific TLV.
1) Basic Management TLV
A set of TLVs considered to be basic to the management of the network stations are required for
all LLDP implementations.
2) Organizationally Specific TLV
Different organizations have defined various TLVs. For instance, Port VLAN ID TLV, Port and
Protocol VLAN ID TLV, VLAN Name TLV And Protocol Identity TLV are defined by IEEE 802.1,
while MAC/PHY Configuration/Status TLV, Power Via MDI TLV, Link Aggregation TLV and
Maximum Frame TLV are defined by IEEE 802.3.
Note:
For detailed introduction of TLV, please refer to IEEE 802.1AB standard.
In TP-LINK switch, the following LLDP optional TLVs are supported.
Port Description TLV The Port Description TLV allows network management to
advertise the IEEE 802 LAN station's port description.
System Capabilities TLV The System Capabilities TLV identifies the primary functions of
the system and whether or not these primary functions are
enabled.
System Description TLV The System Description TLV allows network management to
advertise the system's description, which should include the full
name and version identification of the system's hardware type,
software operating system, and networking software.
