LLDP-MED

 

 

 

 

 

STEP 4 Select the Available TLVs that you want the port to include in LLDP advertisements:

Network Policy—VLAN ID, the 802.1p class-of-service value, and the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value. This information is used to implement the Voice VLAN feature (see Voice and Media).

Location—This value could include the hexadecimal GPS location coordinates for the switch, the civic address, or the ELIN address depending upon what is configured in Configuring Global LLDP-MED Properties.

PSE—Indicates whether the port advertises itself as Power Sourcing Equipment capable of providing power to a connected Power-over Ethernet device. This option appears only on switches that include the PoE features.

Inventory—Hardware and software version information.

System Capabilities—Identifies the basic functionality of the switch such as bridging.

NOTE The Application Type is included in the Network Policy TLV. Application types include Voice, Voice Signaling, Guest Voice, Guest Voice Signaling, Softphone Voice, Video Conferencing, Streaming Video, and Video Signaling. These Network Policies can be added to interfaces by using the VLAN Management > Voice and Media > Media VLAN page.

STEP 5 Click Apply and then click Close. Your changes are saved to the Running Configuration.

NOTE You can click Configure Network Policy to display the Media VLAN page. (You can also click VLAN Management > Voice and Media > Media VLAN in the navigation window.) This page enables you to assign LLDP-MED applications to VLANs and configure priority settings for associated traffic.

SLM2008PTNA specifications

Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is a robust network switch designed specifically for small to medium-sized businesses. It operates with 8 Fast Ethernet ports, providing advanced features and best-in-class performance to enhance your network infrastructure. This model ensures seamless connectivity for multiple devices, making it an ideal choice for environments requiring reliable network communication.

One of the standout features of the SLM2008PTNA is its Layer 2 switching capabilities. This switch supports auto-negotiation, which allows each port to automatically detect the speed of the connected device and adjust accordingly. This ensures optimal performance and smooth operation across various connected devices. Additionally, the switch supports a non-blocking architecture, ensuring that bandwidth is not shared, which significantly enhances data transmission speed.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is another key technology incorporated into the Cisco SLM2008PTNA. It simplifies the installation of network devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points by supplying power through the Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power sources, reducing installation costs and increasing flexibility in device placement.

Moreover, the SLM2008PTNA comes equipped with advanced security features, such as port security and VLAN support. Port security allows network administrators to restrict access to the network based on MAC addresses, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing network security. The support for Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) enables the segmentation of the network into different logical networks, improving traffic management and security within each segment.

The switch is designed for easy management and monitoring, featuring a user-friendly web interface that simplifies configuration. This allows network administrators to quickly set up and manage the device without requiring extensive technical knowledge. Additionally, its compact design makes it suitable for desktop or rack-mount installation, maximizing space efficiency in network environments.

In conclusion, the Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is an essential component for small to medium-sized businesses looking to enhance their network performance. With its Layer 2 switching capabilities, Power over Ethernet support, advanced security features, and ease of management, this switch provides a well-rounded solution for modern networking needs, delivering reliable performance and scalability for growth.
