Configuring for Network Management Applications
LLDP (Link-Layer Discovery Protocol)
■ Power over Ethernet (PoE) status and troubleshooting support via
SNMP
■ support for IP telephony network troubleshooting of call quality
issues via SNMP
This section describes how to configure and use LLDP-MED features in the
switches to support VoIP network edge devices (Media Endpoint Devices)
such as:
■ IP phones
■ voice/media gateways
■ media servers
■ IP communications controllers
■ other VoIP devices or servers
