Mandatory TLVs
The AP always sends these TLVs with the values as shown.
Chassis ID (Type 1): The MAC address of the AP.
Port ID (Type 2): The MAC address of the port on which the TLV will be transmitted.
Time to live (Type 3): Defines the length of time that neighbors will consider LLDP
information sent by this agent to be valid. Calculated by multiplying Transmit interval
by the Multiplier (as defined on the Discovery protocols page).
Optional TLVs
Select the optional TLVs that you want to send with the values as shown.
Port description (Type 4): A description of the port.
System name (Type 5): Administrative name assigned to the device from which the TLV
was transmitted. By default this is the SNMP system name. If the Dynamic system name
option is enabled, the system name is replaced by the dynamically generated name. The
controller can only have one system name. If both the LAN and Internet ports have active
agents, then the name generated by the LAN port is used.
System description (Type 6): Description of the system, comprised of the following
information: operational mode, hardware type, hardware revision, and firmware version.
System capabilities (Type 7): Indicates the primary function of the device. Set to:
WLAN access point for APs
Router for controllers.
Management IP address (Type 8): Specify the IP address on which the agent will
respond to management requests.
802.3 TLVs
The IEEE 802.3 organizationally specific TLV set is optional for all LLDP implementations.
The AP supports a single optional TLV from the 802.3 definition.
MAC/PHY configuration/status
This TLV provides the following information:
Bit-rate and duplex capability
Current duplex and bit-rating
Whether these settings were the result of auto-negotiation during link initiation or
manual override.
