Configuring the 802.1Q framing TLV using ACLI
Use this procedure to configure the frame tagging mode for exchanging Layer 2 priority tagging
information between the switch and an Avaya IP phone.
Prerequisites
• Enable LLDP MED capabilities.
• Enable LLDP MED network policies.
• Log on to the Interface Configuration mode in ACLI.
Procedure steps
1. Configure the Layer 2 frame tagging mode by using the following command:
lldp [port <portlist>] vendor-specific avaya dot1q-framing
[tagged | non-tagged | auto]
2. Set the Layer 2 frame tagging mode to default by using the following command:
default lldp [port <portlist>] vendor-specific avaya dot1q-
framing
Variable definitions
Variable Value
<portlist> Specifies a port or list of ports.
[tagged | non-tagged | auto] Specifies the frame tagging mode. Values
include:
• tagged—frames are tagged based on the
tagging value the Avaya IP phone receives
with the LLDP-MED Network Policy TLV.
• non-tagged—frames are not tagged with
802.1Q priority.
• auto—an attempt is made to tag frames
based on the tagging value the Avaya IP
phone receives with the LLDP-MED
Network Policy TLV. If there is no LLDP-
MED Network Policy information available,
an attempt is made to tag frames based on
server configuration. If that fails, traffic is
transmitted untagged.
The default tagging mode is auto.
