The Power Stateful Control TLV is defined in IEEE P802.3at D1.0. The later versions no longer support
this TLV. H3C devices send this type of TLVs only after receiving them.
LLDP-MED TLVs
LLDP-MED TLVs provide multiple advanced applications for voice over IP (VoIP), such as basic
configuration, network policy configuration, and address and directory management. LLDP-MED TLVs
satisfy the voice device vendors’ requirements for cost effectiveness, ease of deployment, and ease of
management. In addition, LLDP-MED TLVs make deploying voice devices in Ethernet easier.
LLDP-MED TLVs are shown in

Management address
The management address of a device is used by the network management system to identify and
manage the device for topology maintenance and network management. The management address is
encapsulated in the management address TLV.
Operating Modes of LLDP
LLDP can operate in one of the following modes:
