Configuring Cdp Compatibility; Configuration Prerequisites - HP 6600 Configuration Manual

Ethernet II encapsulation—An LLDP port sends LLDPDUs in Ethernet II frames and processes only
•
incoming, Ethernet II encapsulated LLDPDUs.
SNAP encapsulation—An LLDP port sends LLDPDUs in SNAP frames and processes only incoming,
•
SNAP encapsulated LLDPDUs.
By default, LLDPDUs are encapsulated in Ethernet II frames. If neighbor devices encapsulate LLDPDUs in
SNAP frames, configure the encapsulation format for LLDPDUs as SNAP to guarantee normal
communication with neighbors.
LLDP-CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) packets use only SNAP encapsulation.
To set the encapsulation format for LLDPDUs to SNAP:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter Ethernet interface
view or port group view.
3. Set the encapsulation
format for LLDPDUs to
SNAP.

Configuring CDP compatibility

To make your device work with Cisco IP phones, you must enable CDP compatibility.
If your LLDP-enabled device cannot recognize CDP packets, it does not respond to requests from Cisco IP
phones for the voice VLAN ID configured on the device. When a requesting Cisco IP phone sends voice
traffic without any tag to your device, your device cannot differentiate the voice traffic from other types of
traffic.
With CDP compatibility enabled, your device can receive and recognize CDP packets from a Cisco IP
phone and respond with CDP packets, which carry TLVs with the voice VLAN configuration. The IP phone
automatically configures the voice VLAN according to TLVs with the voice VLAN configuration. As a
result, voice traffic is confined in the configured voice VLAN, and differentiated from other types of traffic.
For more information about voice VLANs, see "Configuring voice VLANs."
