Configuring VLAN Settings

Cisco Small Business SPA300 Series, SPA500 Series, and WIP310 IP Phone Administration Guide 140

Configuring VLAN Settings

If you use a VLAN, your IP phone voice packets are tagged with the VLAN ID. (This

section does not apply to the Cisco WIP310.)

Configuring Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)

CDP is negotiation-based and determines which VLAN the IP phone resides in. If

you are using a Cisco switch, Cisco discovery protocol (CDP) is available and

enabled by default. CDP:

• Obtains the protocol addresses of neighboring devices and discovers the

platform of those devices.

• Shows information about the interfaces your router uses.

• Is media and protocol-independent.

If you are using a VLAN without CDP, you must enter a VLAN ID for the IP phone.

Configuring LLDP-MED

The Cisco SPA300 Series and Cisco SPA500 Series IP phones support Link Layer

Discovery Protocol for Media Endpoint Devices (LLDP-MED) for deployment with

Cisco or other third-party network connectivity devices that use a Layer 2 auto-

discovery mechanism. Implementation of LLDP-MED is done in accordance with

IEEE 802.1AB (LLDP) Specification of May 2005, and ANSI TIA-1057 of April 2006.

Cisco SPA IP phones operate as LLDP-MED Media End Point Class III devices with

direct LLDP-MED links to Network Connectivity Devices, according to the Media

Endpoint Discovery Reference Model and Definition (ANSI TIA-1057 Section 6).

Cisco SPA IP phones support only the following limited set of TLVs as LLDP-MED

Media Endpoint device class III:

• Chassis ID TLV

• Port ID TLV

• Time to live TLV

• Port Description TLV

• System Name TLV

• System Capabilities TLV
