Multicast Destination Address
Using Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), a module exchanges multicast addresses with the
device to which it is wired on the Ethernet interface. Although some switches (CMMmicro, for
example) do not pass LLDP addresses upward in the network, a radio can pass it as the value of
the Multicast Destination Address parameter value in the connected device that has it populated.
In this way, an SM can report to Prizm, for example, the multicast address of a connected remote
AP, and thus allow Prizm to discover that AP. To allow this, set the message mode in the remote
AP to LLDP Multicast. Set this parameter in the BHM to Broadcast. The SM will pass this
address in broadcast mode, and the CMMmicro will pass the address upward in the network, since
it does not discard addresses that it receives in broadcast mode.
Where the AP is not behind another device, the Broadcast mode will allow discovery of the AP.
Coordinates
Physical radio location data may be configured via the Latitude, Longitude, and Height fields.
