The LLDP protocol has an extension called LLDP Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP 
MED), which provides and accepts information from media endpoint devices such 
as VoIP phones and video phones. 
Following are examples of actions that can be performed with the LLDP feature in 
a suggested order: 
• Enable LLDP globally (LLDP is enabled by default), and enter LLDP global 
parameters on the LLDP Properties page, as described in the Configuring 
LLDP Properties section.
• Configure LLDP per port on the Port Settings page, as described in the 
Configuring LLDP Port Settings section. On this page, ports can be 
configured to receive or transmit LLDP PDUs, and specify which TLVs to 
advertise. 
• Create LLDP MED network policies on the LLDP MED Network Policy page, 
as described in the Configuring LLDP MED Network Policy section.
• Associate LLDP MED network policies and the optional LLDP MED TLVs to 
the desired ports on the LLDP MED Port Settings page, as described in the 
Configuring LLDP MED Port Settings section.

described in the Viewing LLDP Port Status section.

Information section.
