LLDP-MED

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED) is an enhancement to LLDP that features:
• Auto-discovery of LAN policies (such as VLAN, Layer 2 Priority and DiffServ settings), enabling plug and play
networking.
• Device location discovery for creation of location databases.
• Extended and automated power management of Power over Ethernet endpoints.
• Inventory management, enabling network administrators to track their network devices and determine their
characteristics (manufacturer, software and hardware versions, serial/asset number).
The LLDP-MED folder provides access to the following pages:
•

"LLDP-MED Global Configuration"

• "LLDP-MED Interface Configuration"
• "LLDP-MED Interface Summary"
• "LLDP Local Device Information"
• "LLDP-MED Remote Device Information"

Description
Specifies the number of LLDP PDUs that will be transmitted when the protocol is enabled. The
range is from (1 to 10). The default value s 3.
Specifies local device's MED Classification. The following three represent the actual
endpoints:
• Class I Generic [IP Communication Controller etc.]
• Class II Media [Conference Bridge etc.]
• Class III Communication [IP Telephone etc.])
The fourth device is Network Connectivity Device, which is typically a LAN switch/router, IEEE
802.1 bridge, IEEE 802.11 wireless access point, etc.
