Variable Value
Specifies the frame tagging mode. Values
include:
• tagged—frames are tagged based on the
tagging value the Avaya IP phone receives
with the LLDP-MED Network Policy TLV.
• non-tagged—frames are not tagged with
802.1Q priority.
• auto—an attempt is made to tag frames
based on the tagging value the Avaya IP
phone receives with the LLDP-MED
Network Policy TLV. If there is no LLDP-
MED Network Policy information available,
an attempt is made to tag frames based on
server configuration. If that fails, traffic is
transmitted untagged.
The default tagging mode is auto.
