Understanding LLDP, LLDP-MED, and Wired Location Service
  •
Location TLV
Provides location information from the switch to the endpoint device. The location TLV can send 
this information:
  –
Civic location information
Provides the civic address information and postal information. Examples of civic location 
information are street address, road name, and postal community name information.
  –
ELIN location information
Provides the location information of a caller. The location is determined by the Emergency 
location identifier number (ELIN), which is a phone number that routes an emergency call to 
the local public safety answering point (PSAP) and which the PSAP can use to call back the 
emergency caller.
Wired Location Service
The switch uses the wired location service feature to send location and attachment tracking information 
for its connected devices to a Cisco Mobility Services Engine (MSE). The tracked device can be a 
wireless endpoint, a wired endpoint, or a wired switch or controller. The switch notifies the MSE of 
device link up and link down events through the Network Mobility Services Protocol (NMSP) location 
and attachment notifications.
The MSE starts the NMSP connection to the switch, which opens a server port. When the MSE connects 
to the switch there are a set of message exchanges to establish version compatibility and service 
exchange information followed by location information synchronization. After connection, the switch 
periodically sends location and attachment notifications to the MSE. Any link up or link down events 
detected during an interval are aggregated and sent at the end of the interval.
When the switch determines the presence or absence of a device on a link-up or link-down event, it 
obtains the client-specific information such as the MAC address, IP address, and username. If the client 
is LLDP-MED- or CDP-capable, the switch obtains the serial number and UDI through the LLDP-MED 
location TLV or CDP.
Depending on the device capabilities, the switch obtains this client information at link up:
  •
Slot and port specified in port connection
  •
MAC address specified in the client MAC address
  •
IP address specified in port connection
  •
802.1X username if applicable
  •
Device category is specified as a wired station
  •
State is specified as new
  •
Serial number, UDI
  •
Model number
  •
Time in seconds since the switch detected the association
Depending on the device capabilities, the switch obtains this client information at link down:
  •
Slot and port that was disconnected
  •
MAC address
  •
IP address
  •
802.1X username if applicable
