1.2.8-3 LLDP-MED Configuration
Media Endpoint Discovery is an enhancement of LLDP, known as LLDP-MED that provides the
following facilities:
Auto-discovery of LAN policies (such as VLAN, Layer 2 Priority and Differentiated services (Diffserv)
settings) enabling plug and play networking.
Device location discovery to allow creation of location databases and, in the case of Voice over
Internet Protocol (VoIP), Enhanced 911 services.
Extended and automated power management of Power over Ethernet (PoE) end points.
Inventory management, allowing network administrators to track their network devices, and
determine their characteristics (manufacturer, software and hardware versions, and serial or asset
number).
This page allows you to configure the LLDP-MED. This function applies to VoIP devices which support
LLDP-MED.
