LLDP-MED Generic Endpoint (Class I): The LLDP-MED generic endpoint (Class I)
definition is applicable to all endpoint products that require the base LLDP discovery
services defined in TIA-1057. However, it does not support IP media or act as an
end-user communication appliance. Such devices may include (but are not limited
to) IP communication controllers, other communication related servers, or any
device requiring basic services as defined in TIA-1057.
Discovery services defined in this class include LAN configuration, device location,
network policy, power management, and inventory management.
LLDP-MED Media Endpoint (Class II): The LLDP-MED media endpoint (Class II)
definition is applicable to all endpoint products that have IP media capabilities
however may or may not be associated with a particular end user. Capabilities
include all of the capabilities defined for the previous generic endpoint class (Class
I), and are extended to include aspects related to media streaming. Example product
categories expected to adhere to this class include (but are not limited to) voice/
media gateways, conference bridges, media servers, and similar.
Discovery services defined in this class includes media-type-specific network layer
policy discovery.
LLDP-MED Communication Endpoint (Class III): The LLDP-MED communication
endpoint (Class III) definition is applicable to all endpoint products that act as end
user communication appliances supporting IP media. Capabilities include all of the
capabilities defined for the previous generic endpoint (Class I) and media endpoint
(Class II) classes, and are extended to include aspects related to end user devices.
Example product categories expected to adhere to this class include (but are not
limited to) end user communication appliances, such as IP phones, PC-based
softphones, or other communication appliances that directly support the end user.
Discovery services defined in this class include provision of location identifier
(including ECS / E911 information), embedded L2 switch support, and inventory
management.
LLDP-MED Capabilities: LLDP-MED capabilities describe the neighborhood unit's
LLDP-MED capabilities. The possible capabilities are:
1. LLDP-MED capabilities
2. Network Policy
3. Location Identification
4. Extended Power via MDI - PSE
5. Extended Power via MDI - PD
6. Inventory
7. Reserved
Application Type: Application Type indicates the primary function of the
application(s) defined for this network policy, advertised by an endpoint or network
connectivity device. The possible application types are shown below.
1. Voice - For use by dedicated IP telephony handsets and other similar
appliances supporting interactive voice services. These devices are typically
deployed on a separate VLAN for ease of deployment and enhanced
security by isolation from data applications.
2. Voice Signaling - For use in network topologies that require a different
policy for the voice signaling than for the voice media.
3. Guest Voice - Supports a separate limited feature-set voice service for
guest-users and visitors with their own IP telephony handsets and other
