LLDP-MED
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED) is an enhancement to LLDP that
features:
• Auto-discovery of LAN policies (such as VLAN, Layer 2 Priority and DiffServ settings), enabling plug and
play networking.
• Device location discovery for creation of location databases.
• Extended and automated power management of Power over Ethernet endpoints.
• Inventory management, enabling network administrators to track their network devices and determine
their characteristics (manufacturer, software and hardware versions, serial/asset number).

Field
Description
Fast Start Repeat Count
Specifies the number of LLDP PDUs that will be transmitted when the protocol is
enabled. The range is from (1 to 10). The default value s 3.
Device Class
Specifies local device's MED Classification. The following three represent the actual
endpoints:
• Class I Generic [IP Communication Controller etc.]
• Class II Media [Conference Bridge etc.]
• Class III Communication [IP Telephone etc.])
The fourth device is Network Connectivity Device, which is typically a LAN switch/
router, IEEE 802.1 bridge, IEEE 802.11 wireless access point, etc.
