Configuring LLDP-MED Profile

The following procedure describes how to configure the LLDP-MED LLDP–Media Endpoint Discovery. LLDP-MED facilitates information sharing between endpoints and network infrastructure devices. profile:

1. In the Managed Network node hierarchy, navigate to Configuration > System > Profiles.
2. In All Profiles, expand AP > AP LLDP-MED Network Policy. Select the default profile.

   This example uses the default profile.
   

3. The LLDP-MED Network Policy profile is divided into two tabs, General and Advanced. The General tab displays only those configuration settings that often need to be adjusted to suit a specific network. The Advanced tab shows all configuration settings, including settings that do not need frequent adjustment or should be kept at their default values. Both general and advanced settings are described in Table 1.

   Table 1: LLDP-MED Network Policy Profile Configuration Parameters

   Parameter	Description
   General
   LLDP-MED application type	Click the LLDP-MED application type drop-down list and select the application type managed by this profile. guest-voice— If the AP services a separate voice network for guest users and visitors. guest-voice-signaling—If the AP is part of a network that requires a different policy for guest voice signaling than for guest voice media. Do not use this application type if both the same network policies apply to both guest voice and guest voice signaling traffic. softphone-voice—If the AP supports voice services using softphone software applications on devices such as PCs or laptops . streaming-video—If the AP supports broadcast or multicast video or other streaming video services that require specific network policy treatment. This application type is not recommended for video applications that rely on TCP with buffering. video-conferencing—AP supports video conferencing equipment that provides real-time, interactive video or audio services. video-signaling—If the AP is part of a network that requires a different policy for video signaling than for the video media. Do not use this application type if both the same network policies apply to both video and video signaling traffic. voice—If the AP services IP telephones and other appliances that support interactive voice services. This is the default application type. voice-signaling—Select this application type if the AP is part of a network that requires a different policy for voice signaling than for the voice media. Do not use this application type if both the same network policies apply to both voice and voice signaling traffic.
   LLDP-MED application VLAN	Specify a VLAN by VLAN ID (0-4094) or VLAN name.
   LLDP-MED application VLAN tagging	Select this check box if the LLDP-MED policy applies to a to a VLAN that is tagged with a VLAN ID or untagged. The default value is untagged. NOTE: When an LLDP-MED network policy is defined for use with an untagged VLAN, then the L2 priority field is ignored and only the DSCP value is used.
   Advanced
   LLDP-MED application Layer-2 priority	Specify a 802.1p priority level for the specified application type, by entering a value from 0 to 7, where 0 is the lowest priority level and 7 is the highest priority.
   LLDP-MED application Differentiated Services Code Point	Select a DSCP priority value for the specified application type by specifying a value from 0 to 63, where 0 is the lowest priority level and 63 is the highest priority.

4. Click Submit.
5. Click Pending Changes.
6. In the Pending Changes window, select the checkbox and click Deploy changes.

The following CLI Command-Line Interface. A console interface with a command line shell that allows users to execute text input as commands and convert these commands to appropriate functions. commands configure the LLDP-MED LLDP–Media Endpoint Discovery. LLDP-MED facilitates information sharing between endpoints and network infrastructure devices. profile:

(host) [md] (config) #ap lldp med-network-policy-profile <profile>

(host) ^[md] (AP LLDP-MED Network Policy Profile "default") #application-type {guest-voice|guest-voice-signaling|softphone-voice|streaming-video|video-conferencing|video-signaling|voice|voice-signaling}

(host) ^[md] (AP LLDP-MED Network Policy Profile "default") #vlan <vlan>

The following commands create a LLDP Link Layer Discovery Protocol. LLDP is a vendor-neutral link layer protocol in the Internet Protocol suite used by network devices for advertising their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on an IEEE 802 local area network, which is principally a wired Ethernet. MED network policy profile for streaming video applications and marks streaming video as high-priority traffic:

(host) [md] (config) #ap lldp med-network-policy-profile vid-stream

(host) ^[md] (AP LLDP-MED Network Policy Profile "vid-stream") #dscp 48

(host) ^[md] (AP LLDP-MED Network Policy Profile "vid-stream") #l2-priority 6

(host) ^[md] (AP LLDP-MED Network Policy Profile "vid-stream") #tagged

(host) ^[md] (AP LLDP-MED Network Policy Profile "vid-stream") #vlan 10

Next, the LLDP Link Layer Discovery Protocol. LLDP is a vendor-neutral link layer protocol in the Internet Protocol suite used by network devices for advertising their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on an IEEE 802 local area network, which is principally a wired Ethernet. MED network policy profile is assigned to an LLDP Link Layer Discovery Protocol. LLDP is a vendor-neutral link layer protocol in the Internet Protocol suite used by network devices for advertising their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on an IEEE 802 local area network, which is principally a wired Ethernet. profile, and the LLDP Link Layer Discovery Protocol. LLDP is a vendor-neutral link layer protocol in the Internet Protocol suite used by network devices for advertising their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on an IEEE 802 local area network, which is principally a wired Ethernet. profile is associated with an AP wired-port profile:
