Link Layer Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED) is an extension to LLDP. On PTX EVO platforms, LLDP MED TLVs are not displayed under the Supported LLDP TLV list in the show lldp detail CLI output because LLDP MED is not supported on PTX EVO platforms.

This article provides more information.

On PTX EVO, LLDP MED TLVs are not displayed in the Supported LLDP TLV list in the output of show lldp detail CLI output.

Organizationally Specific TLVs supported:
MAC/PHY configuration/status, Power via MDI, Link aggregation, Maximum Frame Size, Port VLAN tag, Port VLAN name, Cloud Reachability Status, Phone-home Status
Supported LLDP MED TLVs:
LLDP MED capabilities, Network policy, Endpoint location, Extended power
Via MDI.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is not supported on any of the PTX EVO platforms, and hence there is no need for LLDP MED in PTX EVO.

No action is required because POE is not supported on PTX EVO platforms and therefore unsupported TLVs will not be displayed.
