Chapter 15 LLDP-MED 
15.1 Introduction to LLDP-MED 
LLDP-MED  (Link Layer  Discovery  Protocol-Media  Endpoint  Discovery)  based  on  802.1AB 
LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) of IEEE. LLDP provides a standard link layer discovery 
mode, it sends local device information (including its major capability, management IP address, 
device ID  and port ID) as  TLV  (type/length/value) triplets  in  LLDPDU (Link Layer Discovery 
Protocol Data Unit) to the direct connection neighbors. The device information received by the 
neighbors will be stored with a standard management information base (MIB). This allows a 
network management system to quickly detect  and identify the communication status of the 
link. 
In  802.1AB  LLDP,  there  is  no  transmission  and  management  about  the  voice  device 
information.  To  deploy  and  manage  voice  device  expediently,  LLDP-MED  TLVs  provide 
multiple  information,  such  as  PoE  (Power  over  Ethernet),  network  policy,  and  the  location 
information of the emergent telephone service. 
15.2 LLDP-MED Configuration Task Sequence 
1.  Basic LLDP-MED configuration 
Command 
Explanation 
Port mode 
lldp transmit med tlv all 
no lldp transmit med tlv all 
Configure  the  specified  port  to 
send all LLDP-MED TLVs. The 
no  command  disables  the 
function. 
lldp transmit med tlv capability 
no lldp transmit med tlv capability 
Configure  the  specified  port  to 
send LLDP-MED Capability TLV. 
The  no  command  disables  the 
capability. 
lldp transmit med tlv networkPolicy  
no lldp transmit med tlv networkPolicy 
Configure  the  specified  port  to 
send LLDP-MED Network Policy 
TLV.  The  no  command  disables 
the capability. 
lldp transmit med tlv extendPoe 
no lldp transmit med tlv extendPoe 
Configure  the  specified  port  to 
send  LLDP-MED  Extended 
Power-Via-MDI  TLV.  The  no
