The following is an example of the CLI commands:
MED Network Policy
An LLDP-MED network policy is a set of configuration settings that is
identified by a network policy number. Policies are loaded into LLDP-MED
TLVs, and sent to devices connected to the switch. A network policy instructs
the connected device as to how to send traffic, for example, a policy can be
created for VoIP phones that instructs them to:
• Send voice traffic on VLAN 10
• Tag voice traffic with DSCP=63
• Transmit data-traffic to the switch (from the PC connected to the switch
through the VoIP phone) without modification to traffic sent by the PC
(typically, Untagged).
For network policies to be implemented, they must be created and then
associated with ports.
Before policies are defined, the administrator must create the VLANs, and
configure memberships in the VLANs, based on the specification in the
LLDP-MED network policies.
To add a MED network policy:
1 Click Switching > LLDP > MED Network Policy in the tree view to
display the MED Network Policy: Summary page.
Previously-defined network policies are displayed.
2 To add a network policy, click Add, and enter the fields:
–
Network Policy Number — Select an available network policy
number.
–
Application — Select the application (type of traffic) for which the
network policy is defined.
