14.4 LLDP-MED

LLDP-MED is an extension of LLDP intended for managing endpoint devices such as Voice over IP phones and network switches. The LLDP-MED TLVs advertise information such as network policy, power via MDI, inventory management, and device location details.

¾Elements

LLDP-MED Device: Refers to any device which implements this Standard.

LLDP-MED Device Type: LLDP-MED devices are comprised of two primary device types: Network Connectivity Devices and Endpoint Devices.

Network Connectivity Device: Refers to an LLDP-MED Device that provides access to the IEEE 802 based LAN infrastructure for LLDP-MED Endpoint Devices. Bridge is a Network Connectivity Device.

Endpoint Device: Refers to an LLDP-MED Device at the network edge, providing some aspects of IP communications service, based on IEEE 802 LAN technology. Endpoint Devices may be a member of any of the Endpoint Device Classes. Endpoint Devices are composed of three defined Classes: Class I, Class II and Class III.

Generic Endpoint Device (Class I): The most basic class of Endpoint Device.

Media Endpoint Device (Class II): The class of Endpoint Device that supports media stream capabilities.

Communication Device Endpoint (Class III): The class of Endpoint Device that directly supports end users of the IP communication system.

The following LLDP-MED optional TLVs are supported in TL-SG3424P.

Network Policy TLV

The Network Policy TLV allows both Network Connectivity Devices and Endpoints to advertise VLAN configuration and associated Layer 2 and Layer 3 attributes that apply for a set of specific applications on that port.
