Description: IEEE 802.3 LLDP extension MIB defining TLV objects for Ethernet-specific attributes including MAC/PHY, power, and link aggregation.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is LLDP-EXT-DOT3-MIB?

LLDP-EXT-DOT3-MIB is an IEEE standards-based extension to the LLDP-MIB (published as Annex G.6.1 of IEEE 802.1AB-2005) that adds IEEE 802.3 Ethernet-specific TLV objects to the Link Layer Discovery Protocol, covering MAC/PHY configuration, power-via-MDI (PoE), and link aggregation attributes advertised between directly connected devices. It exposes both configuration objects (which TLVs are enabled for transmission) and local/remote operational data describing a port's auto-negotiation capability, operating MAU type, and power class. In monitoring terms it supports discovering and verifying the physical-layer and power status of neighboring devices, such as whether auto-negotiation is enabled and what speed/duplex was actually negotiated, and whether a port is a PoE power source or sink and its power class — useful for spotting duplex mismatches or unexpected PoE device connections. It is a direct extension of, and depends on, the base IEEE 802.1AB LLDP-MIB for the core discovery framework, and consulting the LLDP-EXT-DOT3-MIB OID list helps an operator map each dot3 TLV object to its corresponding IEEE 802.3 attribute during troubleshooting. It is deployed on Ethernet switches, routers, and IP phones/PoE endpoints across virtually any vendor's equipment that supports LLDP.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in LLDP-EXT-DOT3-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, not tied to a specific manufacturer — applies to Ethernet switches, routers, and PoE endpoints supporting LLDP

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll lldpXdot3LocPortTable/lldpXdot3LocPortEntry to check lldpXdot3LocPortAutoNegEnabled and lldpXdot3LocPortOperMauType, confirming a port has actually negotiated the expected speed/duplex rather than falling back to a slower mode. lldpXdot3LocPowerTable/lldpXdot3LocPowerPortClass would be checked on a PoE switch port to confirm the power class advertised to or requested by a connected device such as an IP phone. lldpXdot3PortConfigTLVsTxEnable controls which of these TLVs the local device advertises to its neighbor in the first place.

What Can Be Monitored

  • auto-negotiation status and capability
  • operating MAU (speed/duplex) type
  • PoE power class
  • advertised TLV configuration
