LLDP enhanced TLV structure in a logical interconnect group

Enhanced type-length-value (TLV) is part of the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) exchange of information between interconnects. Enhanced TLV determines what is contained on the Chassis ID TLV of LLDP frames sent out by an interconnect.

Enhanced TLV can be enabled or disabled through the HPE OneView UI or REST API.

The Enhanced TLV settings are available only for Virtual Connect Ethernet modules.
