Configuring for Network Management Applications
LLDP (Link-Layer Discovery Protocol)
Advertising Device Capability, Network Policy, PoE
Status and Location Data
The medTlvEnable option on the switch is enabled in the default configuration
and supports the following LLDP-MED TLVs:
■ LLDP-MED capabilities: This TLV enables the switch to determine:
• whether a connected endpoint device supports LLDP-MED
• which specific LLDP-MED TLVs the endpoint supports
• the device class (1, 2, or 3) for the connected endpoint
This TLV also enables an LLDP-MED endpoint to discover what LLDP-
MED TLVs the switch port currently supports.
■ network policy operating on the port to which the endpoint is connected
(VLAN, Layer 2 QoS, Layer 3 QoS)
■ PoE (MED Power-over-Ethernet)
■ physical location data — page 56
Note LLDP-MED operation requires the macphy_config TLV subelement—enabled
by default—that is optional for IEEE 802.1AB LLDP operation. Refer to the
dot3TlvEnable macphy_config command on page 15-46.
Network Policy Advertisements. Network policy advertisements are
intended for real-time voice and video applications, and include these TLV
subelements:
■ Layer 2 (802.1p) QoS
■ Layer 3 DSCP (diffserv code point) QoS
■ Voice VLAN ID (VID)
VLAN Operating Rules. These rules affect advertisements of VLANs in
network policy TLVs:
■ The VLAN ID TLV subelement applies only to a VLAN configured for voice
operation (vlan < vid > voice).
■ If there are multiple voice VLANs configured on a port, LLDP-MED
advertises the voice VLAN having the lowest VID.
