802.1AB integration

With 802.1 AB, Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) integration you can simplify the
deployment of Avaya voice solutions with Avaya data products because 802.1 AB integration
supports a set of Avaya-specific TLVs that you can use to provision and report about
parameters that support Avaya IP Telephones. When you use the 802.1AB integration TLVs,
you achieve a more rapid deployment of voice solutions and you can also view information
from the data network about the services the voice solutions use. 802.1AB integration also
works with Avaya Energy Saver to maximize off-peak power savings for network and voice
services without impact to service.

New 802.1AB default parameters

Beginning with Release 5.5, you can improve Voice and Video over IP function because some
of the LLDP parameters are enabled by default. Now you can connect LLDP enabled IP
