Configuring LLDP MED Port Settings
The LLDP MED Port Settings page enables the selection of the LLDP-MED TLVs and/or the network policies to be included in the outgoing LLDP advertisement for the desired interfaces. Network Policies are configured using the LLDP MED Network Policy page.
NOTE If LLDP-MED Network Policy for Voice Application (LLDP-MED Network Policy Page) is Auto and Auto Voice VLAN is in operation, then the switch will automatically generate an LLDP-MED Network Policy for Voice Application for all the ports that are LLDP-MED enabled and are members of the voice VLAN.
To configure LLDP MED on each port:
- Click Administration > Discovery - LLDP > LLDP MED Port Settings. The LLDP MED Port Settings page opens.
This page displays LLDP MED settings, including enabled TLVs, for all ports.
- The message at the top of the page indicates whether the generation of the LLDP MED Network Policy for the voice application is automatic or not (see LLDP Overview). Click on the link to change the mode.
- To associate additional LLDP MED TLV and/or one or more user-defined LLDP MED Network Policies to a port, select it, and click Edit. The Edit LLDP MED Port Settings page opens.
- Enter the parameters.
- Interface--Select a port to configure.
- LLDP MED Status--Enable/disable LLDP MED on this port.
- SNMP Notification--Select whether SNMP notification is sent on a per-port basis when an end station that supports MED is discovered, for example a SNMP managing system, when there is a topology change.
- Available Optional TLVs--Select the TLVs that can be published by the switch by moving them to the Selected Optional TLVs list.
- Available Network Policies--Select the LLDP MED policies that will be published by LLDP by moving them to the Selected Network Policies list. These were created in the LLDP MED Network Policy page. To include one or more user defined network polices in the advertisement, you must also select Network Policy from the Available Optional TLVs.
NOTE The following fields must be entered in hexadecimal characters in the exact data format that is defined in the LLDP-MED standard (ANSI-TIA- 1057_final_for_publication.pdf).
- Click Apply. The LLDP MED port settings are modified, and the Running Configuration file is updated.
