LLDP-MED

The Link Layer Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED) is an enhancement to LLDP that
features:
• Auto-discovery of LAN policies (such as VLAN, Layer-2 Priority and DiffServ settings), enabling plug and
play networking.
• Device location discovery for creation of location databases.
• Extended and automated power management of Power over Ethernet endpoints.
• Inventory management, enabling network administrators to track their network devices and determine
their characteristics (manufacturer, software and hardware versions, serial/asset number).
