NAME

LLDP-MED - Show / manipulate MED TLV configurations

SYNOPSIS

lldptool -t -i ethx -V [ TLV_TYPE ] enableTx

lldptool -T -i ethx -V [ TLV_TYPE ] enableTx = { yes | no }

lldptool -T -i ethx -V LLDP-MED devtype = { class1 | class2 | class3 | none }

lldptool -t -i ethx -V LLDP-MED devtype

TLV_TYPE : = {LLDP-MED | medCap | medPolicy | medLoc | medPower | medHwRev | medFwRev | medSwRev | medSerNum | medManuf | medModel | medAssetID }

DESCRIPTION

The LLDP-MED extensions support the Link Layer Discovery Protocol for Media Endpoint Devices defined in the ANSI/TIA-1057-2006 document. Each TLV can be configured as a class1 , class2 or class3 device. Class I devices are the most basic class of Endpoint Device, Class II devices support media stream capabilities and Class III devices directly support end users of the IP communication system. See ANS-TIA-1057 for clarification of class types.

ARGUMENTS

enableTx: Enables the TLV to be transmitted
devtype: Set or query the class type of the device.

TLV_TYPE

List of supported TLV specifiers applicable to Media Endpoint Devices.

LLDP-MED: apply arguments to all supported MED TLVs.
medCAP: LLDP-MED Capabilities TLV
medPolicy: LLDP-MED Network Policy TLV
medLoc: LLDP-MED Location TLV
medPower: LLDP-MED Extended Power-via-MDI TLV
medHwRev: LLDP-MED Hardware Revision TLV
medFwRev: LLDP-MED Firmware Revision TLV
medSwRev: LLDP-MED Software Revision TLV
medSerNum: LLDP-MED Serial Number TLV
medManuf: LLDP-MED Manufacturer Name TL
medModel: LLDP-MED Model Name TLV
medAssetID: LLDP-MED Asset ID TLV

EXAMPLE & USAGE

Enable class1 MED device on eth2: lldptool -T -i eth2 -V LLDP-MED enableTx=yes devtype=class1
Query class type of MED on eth2: lldptool -t -i eth2 -V LLDP-MED -c devtype
Query transmit state of medPolicy on device eth2: lldptool -t -i eth2 -V medPolicy -c enableTx
