Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)-MED Policy Port Egress No Longer Required

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)-MED policy is a functionality within LLDP to transmit network policy to media devices. Previously, LLDP-MED required you to configure a port to egress on a VLAN before LLDP-MED policy could be configured on that port and VLAN. This limitation forced the port to be configured statically before configuring LLDP. This limited what could be done with dynamic port configuration from features, such as Policy. LLDP now accepts LLDP-MED Policy configuration even when the port is not configured on the VLAN.
