Defining LLDP Media Endpoint Discovery Network Policy
LLDP Media Endpoint Discovery
(LLDP MED)
is an enhancement to the 802.1ab standard. LLDP MED increases
network flexibility by allowing different IP systems to co-exist on a single network. LLDP MED:
•
Provides detailed network topology information, including what devices are located on the network, and
where the devices are located. For example, what IP phone is connected to what port, what software is
running on what switch, and what port is connected to what PC.
•
Automatically deploys policies over networks for:
–
QoS Policies
–
Voice VLANs
•
Provides Emergency Call Service (E-911) via IP Phone location information.
•
Provides troubleshooting information. LLDP MED sends network managers alerts for:
–
Port speed and duplex mode conflicts
–
QoS policy misconfigurations
