Configuring for Network Management Applications

LLDP (Link-Layer Discovery Protocol)

Note: A switch port allows one instance of any given CA­ TYPE. For example, if a type/value pair of 6 Atlantic (to specify “Atlantic” as a street name) is configured on port A5 and later another type/value pair of 6 Pacific is configured on the same port, then Pacific replaces Atlantic in the civic address location configured for port A5.

elin-addr < emergency-number >

This feature is intended for use in Emergency Call Service (ECS) applications to support class 3 LLDP-MED VoIP telephones connected to a switch covered in this guide in a multiline telephone system (MLTS) infrastructure. An ELIN (Emergency Location Identification Number) is a valid North American Numbering Plan (NANP) format telephone number assigned to MLTS operators in North America by the appropriate authority. The ELIN is used to route emergency (E911) calls to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).

Configuring Coordinate-Based Locations. Latitude, longitude, and

 

altitude data can be configured per switch port using an SNMP management

 

application. For more information, refer to the documentation provided with

 

the application. A further source of information on this topic is RFC 3825­

Endpoint use of data from a medPortLocation TLV sent by the switch is device-

 

dependent. Refer to the documentation provided with the endpoint device.
