Power Via MDI TLV

When configured for advertisement on Ethernet (PoE (Power over Ethernet)) or PoE+ ports, this TLV advertises the device type, power status, power class, and pin pairs used to supply power.

The device type field contains a binary value that represents whether the LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol)-compatible device transmitting the LLDPDU is a power sourcing entity (PSE) or power device (PD), as listed in Power Management TLV Device Information.
