Partial Support for Cisco Medianet 2.1 Features

Some DMP endpoints support some Cisco Medianet 2.1 features.

Note	We do not support any Medianet features on DMP 4305G endpoints.
Tip		• To assess your network for Medianet readiness, see http://cisco.com/go/mra.

•To review solution reference network designs (SRNDs) for Medianet, see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/solutions/ns340/ns414/ns742/ns819/landing_vid_medianet.html.

	NEW IN CISCO DMS 5.2.2 — Support for some Medianet features.
	• Running firmware release 5.2.2, these DMPs know and can
DMP 4310G	broadcast their product type, model, and software version.
	• In turn, they can receive their IP address, VLAN assignment,
	and network configuration settings automatically, in
	anticipation of you registering them to your DMM server.
	• DMP 4310G endpoints in Cisco DMS 5.2.2 do not support
	discovery via DHCP or autoregistration to your DMM
	server. Nor do they know their physical location.
	NEW IN CISCO DMS 5.2.3 — Expanded support.
	• In addition to their earlier support of some Medianet
	features, these DMPs can now receive and parse enough
	information from Medianet through DHCP1 to autoregister
	themselves with your DMM server. They support discovery
	via DHCP and they can learn their physical location.
	• After a successful autoregistration, the splash screen on
	these DMPs includes key parameters and states explicitly
	that setup succeeded.
	NEW IN CISCO DMS 5.2.3 — Medianet 2.1 feature support by
	DMP 4400G endpoints running firmware release 5.2.3 is
	equivalent to support by DMP 4310G endpoints, with just
	one exception. Ordinarily, a DMP 4400G can participate in
DMP 4400G	networks via either an Ethernet connection or a Wi-Fi
	connection. However:
	A Wi-Fi connection by a DMP 4400G prevents it from obtaining
	or using any Location Services information that Medianet might
	be configured to provide.

1.With DHCP option 125 (V-I Vendor-Specific Information) for service discovery, after you configure your supported DHCP server to support this option. See RFC 3925.
