LLDP-MED
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED) is an enhancement
to LLDP that features:
• Auto-discovery of LAN policies (such as VLAN, Layer 2 Priority and Diffserv settings),
enabling plug and play networking.
• Device location discovery for creation of location databases.
• Extended and automated power management of Power over Ethernet endpoints.
• Inventory management, enabling network administrators to track their network devices and
