Device-Detect Configurations

A Universal Port device-detect configuration requires only a switch and supplicants. If PoE devices will connect to the switch, the switch should support PoE. Supplicants should support LLDP in the applicable software or firmware.
Note

Note

To support supplicant configuration, you might consider adding a DHCP server to your network.

Use the following procedure to configure Universal Port for device detection:

  1. Create a device-detect profile as described in Creating and Configuring New Profiles.
  2. Create a device-undetect profile as described in Creating and Configuring New Profiles.
  3. Assign the device-detect profile to the edge ports as described in Configuring a Device Event Trigger.
  4. Assign the device-undetect profile to the edge ports as described in Configuring a Device Event Trigger.
  5. Verify that correct profiles are assigned to correct ports using the following command:

    show upm event event-type

  6. Enable LLDP message advertisements on the ports that are configured for device-detect profiles as described in LLDP.
  7. Test profile operation as described in Verifying a Universal Port Profile.
