LLDP (Link Layer Discover Protocol) provides a method for switches, routers and access points to advertise

their identification, configuration and capabilities to the neighboring devices that store the data in a MIB, and to

learn information about the neighboring devices.

LLDP-MED (Link Layer Discovery Protocol for Media Endpoint Devices) is an extension of LLDP in that it

operates between endpoint devices such as IP phones or switches.

LLDP-Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED) is an enhancement of LLDP with the following features:



Auto Discovery: Autodiscovery of LAN policies (such as VLAN, Layer 2 priority, and DiffServ settings)

and capability to enable a plug and play networking



Device Location: Device location discovery for the creation of location databases



Power Management: Extended and automated power management of Power over Ethernet (PoE)

endpoints



Inventory Management: Inventory management, which lets network administrators track network devices

and determine their characteristics such as the manufacturer, the software and hardware versions, and the

serial and asset numbers

The default of the LLDP status is enabling. If you want to configure other settings, please refer to the following
