Convergence End Point (CEP) Detection

Convergence End Point (CEP) is a mechanism to detect remote IP telephony or video devices on a port and dynamically apply a policy based on the type of CEP device discovered. When a CEP device is detected on a port, the configured policy for that device is applied to the user on that port. The switch detects a CEP by inspecting devices on CDP- and LLDP-configured ports.
