3.9.4 LLDP-MED Neighbors

This section provides a status overview of all LLDP-MED neighbors. The table contains a row for each port on which an LLDP neighbor is detected. This function applies to VoIP devices that support LLDP-MED.

Web Interface

To show LLDP-MED neighbor:

1.Click LLDP-MED Neighbor.

2.Click Refresh for manual update Web screen.

3.Click Auto-refresh for auto-update Web screen.

Figure 3-47: The LLDP-MED Neighbor Information screen

NOTE: If your network supports LLDPMED without any devices, then the table will show “No LLDP-MED neighbor information found”.

Parameter Description

•Port: The port on which the LLDP frame was received.

•Device Type:

-LLDP-MED Devices are comprised of two primary Device Types: Network Connectivity Devices and Endpoint Devices.

-LLDP-MED Network Connectivity Devices, as defined in TIA-1057, provide access to the IEEE 802-based LAN infrastructure for LLDP-MED Endpoint Devices. An LLDP-MED Network Connectivity Device is a LAN access device based on any of the following technologies:

1.LAN Switch/Router

2.IEEE 802.1 Bridge

3.IEEE 802.3 Repeater (included for historical reasons)

4.IEEE 802.11 Wireless Access Point

5.Any device that supports the IEEE 802.1AB and MED extensions defined by TIA-1057 and can relay IEEE 802 frames via any method.

•LLDP-MED Endpoint Device Definition:

LLDP-MED Endpoint Devices, as defined in TIA-1057, are located at the IEEE 802 LAN network edge, and participate in IP communication service using the LLDP-MED framework.

Within the LLDP-MED Endpoint Device category, the LLDP-MED scheme is broken into further Endpoint Device Classes, as defined in the following. Each LLDP-MED Endpoint Device Class is defined to build upon the capabilities defined for the previous Endpoint Device Class. For example will any LLDP-MED Endpoint Device claiming compliance as a Media Endpoint (Class II) also support all aspects of TIA-1057 applicable to Generic Endpoints (Class I), and any LLDP-MED Endpoint Device claiming compli- ance as a Communication Device (Class III) will also support all aspects of TIA-1057 applicable to both Media Endpoints (Class II) and Generic Endpoints (Class I).

LPB2848A, LPB2826A, LPB2810A, PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch Eco specifications

The Black Box PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch series, including the models LPB2810A, LPB2826A, and LPB2848A, presents a robust solution for businesses looking to enhance their network efficiency and reliability. Designed to support the growing demand for Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices, these switches provide the perfect backbone for modern network infrastructures.

One of the most significant features of this series is its PoE+ capability, which allows it to deliver power and data over a single Ethernet cable. This functionality simplifies cabling and installation, making it easier to deploy PoE devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. The LPB2810A offers 8 PoE+ ports, the LPB2826A ups the ante with 24 ports, and the LPB2848A provides a whopping 48 ports, each capable of delivering up to 30 watts of power per port.

The managed switch system ensures that users can customize and optimize their network performance. With advanced features such as VLAN support, Quality of Service (QoS), and link aggregation, organizations can effectively manage traffic, prioritize critical applications, and potentially enhance overall network security. Furthermore, these switches support Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionalities, which allows for greater flexibility when implementing routing policies.

Another critical aspect of the LPB series is its built-in security features. The switches come equipped with advanced security protocols, including IEEE 802.1X port-based access control, which enables network administrators to authenticate devices before granting access to the network. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and ensures data integrity across the connected devices.

The Black Box PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switches are designed with reliability and ease of use in mind. Their fanless design promotes silent operation, making them ideal for deployment in both office environments and data centers. Additionally, the switches offer a user-friendly web-based interface and CLI options for straightforward management and configuration, catering to both novice and seasoned network administrators.

In conclusion, the Black Box PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch series, featuring models LPB2810A, LPB2826A, and LPB2848A, stands out with its power-efficient design, extensive port options, and advanced security measures. These switches are an excellent choice for organizations that require a dependable and scalable networking solution to support their growing Ethernet and PoE device needs.
