802.1Ab Med Network Policies - Avaya 4524GT Configuration Manual

addition, an LLDP-MED endpoint advertises this TLV for supported application types to
enable the discovery of specific policy information and the diagnosis of network policy
configuration mismatch issues.
• Location Identification TLV allows network connectivity devices to advertise the
appropriate location identifier information for an endpoint to use in the context of location-
based applications. The Location Identification Discovery extension enables the
advertisement of location identifier information to Communication Endpoint Devices
(Class III), based on the configuration of the Network Connectivity Device to which it is
connected. This is expected to be related to wiremap or similar network topology data,
such that the configuration of the Network Connectivity Device can uniquely identify the
physical location of the connected MED Endpoint, and hence the correct location identifier
information for it to use.
• Extended Power-via-MDI TLV enables advanced power management between an
LLDP-MED endpoint and network connectivity devices. The Extended Power-via-MDI
TLV enables the advertisement of fine grained power requirement details, endpoint power
priority, and power status for both endpoint and network connectivity devices.
• Inventory TLVs are important in managed VoIP networks. Administrative tasks in these
networks are made easier by access to inventory information about VoIP entities. The
LLDP Inventory TLVs consist of the following:
- LLDP-MED Hardware Revision TLV allows the device to advertise its hardware
revision.
- LLDP-MED Firmware Revision TLV allows the device to advertise its firmware
revision.
- LLDP-MED Software Revision TLV allows the device to advertise its software
revision.
- LLDP-MED Serial Number TLV allows the device to advertise its serial number.
- LLDP-MED Manufacturer Name TLV allows the device to advertise the name of its
manufacturer.
- LLDP-MED Model Name TLV allows the device to advertise its model name
- LLDP-MED Asset ID TLV allows the device to advertise its asset ID

802.1AB MED network policies

You can configure 802.1AB MED network policies to dynamically configure voice VLAN, DSCP,
priority, and VLAN tagging on the switch for voice traffic received from an IP phone. When you
enable LLDP and configure the MED network policies on the switch, the switch sends the
network policies to the IP Phone. The IP phone processes the data in the LLDP PDU and
transmits the voice traffic with the appropriate VLAN ID, VLAN tagging, DSCP and priority
information.
