LLDP-MED Remote Device Information

The LLDP-MED Remote Device Information page displays information about the remote devices the local system has learned about through the LLDP-MED data units received on its interfaces. Information is available about remote devices only if an interface receives an LLDP-MED data unit from a device. To view additional information about a remote device, select the interface that received the LLDP-MED data and click Details. The information below is organized according to the order in which the fields appear in the LLDP-MED Remote Device Information window.

To access this page, click Switching > LLDP-MED > Remote Devices in the navigation menu.

LLPD-MED Remote Device Information Fields

Field Description
Interface The local interface that has received LLDP-MED data units from remote devices.
Remote ID The client identifier assigned to the remote system that sent the LLDP-MED data unit.
Capability Information
Supported Capabilities The supported capabilities that were received in the MED TLV on this interface.
Enabled Capabilities The supported capabilities on the remote device that are also enabled.
Device Class The MED Classification advertised by the TLV from the remote device. The following three classifications represent the actual endpoints:
  • Class I Generic (for example, IP Communication Controller)
  • Class II Media (for example, Conference Bridge)
  • Class III Communication (for example, IP Telephone)

    The fourth device is Network Connectivity Device, which is typically a device such as a LAN switch or router, IEEE 802.1 bridge, or IEEE 802.11 wireless access point.

Network Policy Information

This section describes the information in the network policy TLVs received in the LLDP-MED frames on this interface.

Media Application Type The media application type received in the TLV from the remote device. The application types are unknown, voicesignaling, guestvoice, guestvoicesignalling, softphonevoice, videoconferencing, streamingvideo, videosignalling. Each application type that is transmitted has the VLAN ID, priority, DSCP, tagged bit status and unknown bit status. The port on the remote device may transmit one or many such application types. This information is displayed only when a network policy TLV has been received.
VLAN ID The VLAN ID associated with a particular policy type.
Priority The user priority associated with a particular policy type.
DSCP The DSCP value associated with a particular policy type.
Unknown Bit Status The unknown bit associated with a particular policy type.
Tagged Bit Status Identifies whether the network policy is defined for tagged or untagged VLANs.

This section describes the information in the inventory TLVs received in the LLDP-MED frames on this interface.

Hardware Revision The hardware version advertised by the remote device.
Firmware Revision The firmware version advertised by the remote device.
Software Revision The software version advertised by the remote device.
Serial Number The serial number advertised by the remote device.
Manufacturer Name The name of the system manufacturer advertised by the remote device.
Model Name The name of the system model advertised by the remote device.
Asset ID The system asset ID advertised by the remote device.
Location Information

This section describes the information in the location TLVs received in the LLDP-MED frames on this interface.

Sub Type The type of location information advertised by the remote device.
Information The text description of the location information included in the subtype.
Extended PoE (Power over Ethernet) Whether the remote device is advertised as a PoE device.
