Device-Detect Configurations
A Universal Port device-detect configuration requires only a switch and
supplicants. If
PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices will connect to the switch, the
switch should support PoE. Supplicants should support
Link Layer Discovery Protocol in the applicable software or
firmware.
Use the following procedure to
configure Universal Port for device detection:
-
Create a device-detect profile as described in Creating and Configuring New Profiles.
-
Create a device-undetect profile as described in Creating and Configuring New Profiles.
-
Assign the device-detect profile to the edge ports as
described in Configuring a Device Event Trigger.
-
Assign the device-undetect profile to the edge ports as
described in Configuring a Device Event Trigger.
-
Verify that correct profiles are assigned to correct ports
using the following command:
-
Enable LLDP message advertisements on the ports that are
configured for device-detect profiles as described in LLDP.
-
Test profile operation as described in Verifying a Universal Port Profile.
