LLDP MED policy management using EDM navigation

Viewing LLDP MED policies using EDM

Use this procedure to view LLDP MED policy properties for the local system.

Procedure steps


Step Action

1

From the navigation tree, double-click Edit.

2

In the Edit tree, double-click Diagnostics.

3

In the Diagnostic tree, double-click 802.1AB.

4

In the 802.1AB tree, double-click Port MED.

5

In the work area, click the Local Policy tab.

Variable definitions

Use the data in the following table to help you understand the LLDP MED local policy display.

Field Description
PortNum Indicates the port number
PolicyAppType Shows the policy application type.
PolicyVlanID Indicates the extension of the VLAN Identifier for the port, as defined in IEEE 802.1P-1998. A value of 1 through 4094 is used to define a valid PVID. A value of 0 is used if the device is using priority tagged frames, meaning that only the 802.1p priority level is significant and the default VID of the ingress port is being used instead. A value of 4095 is reserved for implementation use.
PolicyPriority Indicates the value of the 802.1p priority which is associated with the local port.
PolicyDscp Contains the value of the Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) as defined in IETF RFC 2474 and RFC 2475 that is associated with the given port on the local system.
PolicyTagged Indicates whether the application is using a tagged VLAN, untagged VLAN, or does not support a port based VLAN operation.

Creating LLDP MED policies using EDM

Use this procedure to create a new LLDP MED policy for the local system.

Procedure steps


Step Action

1

From the navigation tree, double-click Edit.

2

In the Edit tree, double-click Diagnostics.

3

In the Diagnostic tree, double-click 802.1AB.

4

In the 802.1AB tree, double-click Port MED.

5

In the work area, click the Local Policy tab.

6

Click Insert .

7

To select a port to create a policy for, click the PortNum elipsis.

8

Click Ok .

9

In the PolicyAppType section, select one or both checkboxes.

10

To select a VLAN identifier for the selected port, click the PolicyVlanID elipsis.

11

Click Ok .

12

Double-click the PolicyPriority field.

13

Type a priority value.

14

Double-click the PolicyDscp field.

15

Type a DSCP value.

16

To use a tagged VLAN, select the PolicyTagged checkbox.

OR

To use an untagged VLAN, clear the PolicyTagged checkbox.

17

Click Insert .

Variable definitions

Use the data in the following table to create a new LLDP MED policy for the local system.

Field Description
PortNum Specifies the port on which to configure LLDP MED policies.
PolicyAppType Specifies the policy application type.
  • voice—selects the voice network policy
  • voiceSignaling—selects the voice signalling network policy
PolicyVlanID Specifies the VLAN identifier for the selected port or ports. Values range from 1–4094. If you select priority tagged frames, the system recognizes only the 802.1p priority level and uses a value of 0 for the VLAN ID of the ingress port.
PolicyPriority Specifies the value of the 802.1p priority that applies to the selected switch port or ports. Values range from 0–7.
PolicyDscp Specifies the value of the Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) as defined in IETF RFC 2474 and RFC 2475 that is associated with the selected switch port or ports. Values range from 0–63.
PolicyTagged Specifies the type of VLAN tagging to apply on the selected switch port or ports.
  • when selected—uses a tagged VLAN
  • when cleared—uses an untagged VLAN or does not support port-based VLANs.

If you select untagged, the system ignores the VLAN ID and priority values, and recognizes only the DSCP value.

5

To select a policy to edit, click the PortNum.

6

In the policy row, double-click the cell in thePolicyVlanID column.

7

Select a VLAN from the list.

8

13

In the policy row, double-click the cell in thePolicyTagged column.

14

Select a value from the list.

15

Click Apply .

Variable definitions

Use the data in the following table to edit a previously configured LLDP MED policy for the local system.

Variable Value
PortNum Indicates the port on which to configure LLDP MED policies. This is a read-only cell.
PolicyAppType Indicates the policy application type. This is a read-only cell.
  • voice— voice network policy
  • voiceSignaling— voice signalling network policy
PolicyVlanID Specifies the VLAN identifier for the selected port or ports. Values range from 1–4094. If you select priority tagged frames, the system recognizes only the 802.1p priority level and uses a value of 0 for the VLAN ID of the ingress port.
PolicyPriority Specifies the value of the 802.1p priority that applies to the selected switch port or ports. Values range from 0–7.
PolicyDscp Specifies the value of the Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) as defined in IETF RFC 2474 and RFC 2475 that is associated with the selected switch port or ports. Values range from 0–63.
