LLDP-MED
When the phone is connected to a switch with LLDP-MED capabilities, it can receive a VLAN
ID and QoS parameters and advertise its own network-related properties. The data is ex-
changed in TLV (Type-Length-Value) format.
Both sent and received LLDP-MED data can be monitored at the administrator interface.
For a network configuration example that shows LLDP-MED in operation, please refer to
Section 5.4, “An LLDP-Med Example”.
Displayed Data
•
Extended Power
: Power Consumption; relevant for PoE.
•
Network policy (voice)
: VLAN ID and QoS (Quality of Service) parameters for voice trans-
port.
•
Network policy (signalling)
: VLAN ID and QoS (Quality of Service) parameters for sig-
nalling.
•
LLDEP-MED capabilities
: The LLDP-MED TLVs supported by the phone and the switch
as well as the specific device class they belong to.
•
MAC_Phy configuration
: Identifies the possible duplex and bit-rate capability of the send-
ing device, its current duplex and bit-rate capability, and whether theses settings are the
result of auto-negotiation during the initialization of the link, or of manual set override ac-
tions.
•
System capabilities
: The devices advertise their potential and currently enabled func-
tions, e. g. "Bridge", "Telephone".
•
TTL
:
T
ime
T
o
L
ive. This parameter determines how long the TLVs are valid. When expired,
the device will send a new set of TLVs.
