3) Create a port-profile manager for LLDPAD to map port-profile to internal protocol settings. The mapping would resolve VDP parameters, for example, given a port-profile. Like:
port-profile: "joes-garage" ---> VSI Manager ID: 15 VSI Type ID: 12345 VSI Type ID Ver: 1
Sounds like this would require a whole new management API to get this mapping onto the machine and that probably isn't anywhere in place today...
