Automatically identifying IP phones through LLDP

When you use OUI addresses to identify IP phones, the number of OUI addresses that can be configured
is limited. Additionally, when there are plenty of IP phones in the network, you must configure many OUI
addresses. If your IP phones support LLDP, you can configure LLDP to automatically identify IP phones. For

information to IP phones

How a device advertises voice VLAN information

When an IP phone supports LLDP, the device can advertise the voice VLAN information to IP phones
through the LLDP-MED TLVs.
When an IP phone supports CDP rather than LLDP, you can configure CDP compatibility to enable the
device to advertise the voice VLAN information to IP phones through the CDP packets.
For more information about LLDP and CDP compatibility, see "Configuring LLDP."
