Advertising device capability, network policy, PoE status and location data

The medTlvEnable option on the switch is enabled in the default configuration and supports the following LLDP-MED TLVs:

• LLDP-MED capabilities: This TLV enables the switch to determine:

  • Whether a connected endpoint device supports LLDP-MED

  • Which specific LLDP-MED TLVs the endpoint supports

  • The device class (1, 2, or 3) for the connected endpoint

  This TLV also enables an LLDP-MED endpoint to discover what LLDP-MED TLVs the switch port currently supports.

• Network policy operating on the port to which the endpoint is connected (VLAN, Layer 2 QoS, Layer 3 QoS)

• PoE (MED Power-over-Ethernet)

• Physical location data (see Configuring location data for LLDP-MED devices)
