4.4.1.2
Configuring Automatic VLAN Assignment to the Phone
Configure automatic assignment of VLAN if you do not need to separate voice from data,
i.e., if there are no security considerations requiring it. In this case, configure either:
Automatic Configuration of VLAN (CDP)
CDP
Automatic Configuration of VLAN (LLDP)
LLDP
-OR-
Automatic Configuration of VLAN (CDP+LLDP)
CDP_LLDP
What you select depends on whether the switch deployed in your enterprise supports Cisco-
proprietary Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), or LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) which
is a vendor-neutral protocol used by devices in an IEEE 802 LAN to advertise their identity,
capabilities, and neighbors. Not all switches support CDP. If You're unsure, select
CDP+LLDP
. LLDP includes enhanced LLDP for Media Endpoint Devices, i.e., LLDP-MED,
to specifically address voice applications.
