With CDP compatibility enabled, your device can receive and recognize CDP packets from a Cisco IP phone and respond with CDP packets, which carry the voice VLAN configuration TLVs. The voice traffic is confined in the configured voice VLAN, and differentiated from other types of traffic.

CDP-compatible LLDP operates in one of the following modes:

TxRx: CDP packets can be transmitted and received.

Disable: CDP packets cannot be transmitted or received.

Optional

Enabling LLDP on ports

By default, LLDP is enabled on ports.

Make sure that LLDP is also enabled globally, because LLDP can work on a port

 

 

only when it is enabled both globally and on the port.

 

 

 

Optional

 

LLDP settings include LLDP operating mode, packet encapsulation, CDP

 

compatibility, device information polling, trapping, and advertised TLVs.
