Auto-sense Global Configuration using EDM
Perform the procedures in this section to configure Auto-sense globally using Enterprise Device Manager (EDM).
Enable LLDP Authentication of IP Phones
Before you begin
You must enable EAPoL globally.
About this task
Perform this procedure to enable Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) authentication of IP phones. The switch authenticates the phone after it receives LLDP packets from the phone.
Auto-sense LLDP authentication applies to Auto-sense ports in the VOICE state. Auto-sense LLDP authentication does not require a global Auto-sense voice configuration.
- You disable EAPoL globally.
- You disable Auto-sense on the port.
- The LLDP neighbor is removed.
- You renable EAPoL globally.
- You renable Auto-sense on the port.
- The LLDP neighbor is recreated.
Procedure
- In the navigation pane, expand .
- Select AutoSense.
- Select the Globals tab.
- Select EapolVoiceLldpAuthEnable, to enable the EAPoL LLDP authorization for voice Auto-sense ports.
- Select Apply.
Configure Auto-sense Voice Information for IP Phones
The switch applies the Auto-sense voice configuration on specific port(s), after it discovers IP phones on the port through LLDP packets.
Before you begin
If you boot the switch with a configuration file, and not through Zero Touch Fabric Configuration, you must manually enable Auto-sense on specific port(s).
About this task
Perform this procedure to configure Auto-sense voice information for IP phones. A global Auto-sense voice configuration does not require LAuto-senseLDP authentication.
Procedure
- In the navigation pane, expand .
- Select AutoSense.
- Select the Globals tab.
- For VoiceIsid, type the I-SID value.
- For VoiceCvid, type the CVID value associated with the voice I-SID.
- Select Apply.

- In the navigation pane, expand .
- Select AutoSense.
- Select the Globals tab.
- For DataIsid, type the data I-SID value used by the Auto-sense ports.

Procedure
- In the navigation pane, expand .
- Select AutoSense.
- Select the Globals tab.
- Select AccessDiffservEnable to enable differentiated serve type as access for Auto-sense ports.
- Select Apply.
Configure Auto-sense for Fabric Attach
Perform this procedure for the following purposes:
-
Configure Fabric Attach (FA) authentication for ports that are operating in Auto-sense mode.
-
For Zero Touch Deployment and assignments of dedicated I-SIDs for FA capable cameras, Wireless Access Points, FA proxy switches and Open Virtual Switches (OVS), you can configure a specific I-SID to use instead of the onboarding I-SID when a port is in an Auto-sense Fabric Attach (FA) state and detects an FA client.
-
Configure a specific I-SID and customer VLAN ID to use as the management I-SID when a port is in the Auto-sense FA PROXY state.
Before you begin
-
Create the I-SID.
-
Associate the I-SID with either a platform or private VLAN; this association is not required on a DvR Leaf.
About this task
You can create only one I-SID of each type.
The FA I-SID can be the same as the voice I-SID because they are used by different Auto-sense port states.
Procedure
- In the navigation pane, expand .
- Select AutoSense.
- Select the Globals tab.
-
Configure Fabric Attach authentication:
- Select FaMsgAuthEnable, to enable FA message authentication.
- For FaAuthenticationKey, type the key for FA authentication for the Auto-sense ports.
-
Configure a specific I-SID to use instead of the onboarding I-SID:
- For auto-sensed cameras, type the I-SID in FaCameraIsid.
- For auto-sensed FA client switches that do not use FA message authentication, like EXOS or Switch Engine, type the I-SID in FaProxyNoAuthIsid.
- For auto-sensed virtual switches, type the I-SID in FaVirtualSwitchIsid.
- For auto-sensed wireless access points (WAP), type the I-SID in FaWapType1Isid.
-
Configure a specific I-SID and customer VLAN ID to use as the management
I-SID:
- In FaProxyMgmtIsid, type the I-SID.
- In FaProxyMgmtCvid, type the customer VLAN ID.
- Select Apply.
