What Is LLDP-V2-TC-MIB?
LLDP-V2-TC-MIB is a vendor-neutral IETF/IEEE textual-convention MIB that defines the shared data types used across the IEEE 802.1AB-2016 (LLDP version 2) family of MIB modules, including chassis ID subtype, port ID subtype, and TLV type enumerations. It defines no managed objects, tables, or notifications of its own; it exists solely so that the actual LLDP MIB modules (and vendor extensions) can reference a common, consistent set of type definitions rather than redefining them. Consequently it has no direct role in monitoring hardware or software status - any LLDP-based neighbor discovery, port identification, or management-address monitoring happens in the companion LLDP MIB modules that import these TCs, and browsing the LLDP-V2-TC-MIB OID tree confirms this directly, since it contains only type definitions with no object identifiers assigned to actual managed objects. Its dependency relationship is foundational: essentially every IEEE 802.1AB v2 MIB module (and vendor LLDP extensions) imports type definitions from this module. It is used industry-wide wherever Ethernet switches and other LLDP-capable network devices implement standards-based neighbor discovery.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in LLDP-V2-TC-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 any Ethernet switch, router, or LLDP-capable network device
Monitoring Examples
This module contains only textual conventions (data type definitions) and no MODULE-IDENTITY, tables, or notifications, so it defines no runtime data an administrator could poll directly. Its types, such as chassis/port ID subtype enumerations, are consumed by the operative LLDP-MIB and LLDP-EXT-DOT1/DOT3-MIB tables that actually expose neighbor information. There is no monitoring scenario to describe for this module in isolation.
