Description 

 

Port 

The port on which the LLDP frame was received. 

 

Device Type 

LLDP-MED Devices are comprised of two primary Device Types: Network 

Connectivity Devices and Endpoint Devices.   

LLDP-MED Network Connectivity Device Definition   

LLDP-MED Network Connectivity Devices, as defined in TIA-1057, provide 

access to the IEEE 802 based LAN infrastructure for LLDP-MED Endpoint 

Devices. An LLDP-MED Network Connectivity Device is a LAN access device 

based on any of the following technologies: 

1. LAN Switch/Router 

2. IEEE 802.1 Bridge 

3. IEEE 802.3 Repeater (included for historical reasons) 

4. IEEE 802.11 Wireless Access Point
