Configuring Discovery Configuring LLDP 8 • Auto Smartport requires CDP and/or LLDP to be enabled. Auto Smartport automatically configures an interface based on the CDP/LLDP advertisement received from the interface. • CDP and LLDP end devices, such as IP phones, learn the voice VLAN configuration from CDP and LLDP advertisements. By default, the switch is enabled to send out CDP and LLDP advertisement based on the voice VLAN configured at the switch. Refer to the Voice VLAN and Auto Voice VLAN sections for details. NOTE CDP/LLDP does not distinguish if a port is in a LAG. If there are multiple ports in a LAG, CDP/LLDP transmit packets on each port without taking into account the fact that the ports are in a LAG. The operation of CDP/LLDP is independent of the STP status of an interface. If 802.1x port access control is enabled at an interface, the switch transmits and receives CDP/LLDP packets to and from the interface only if the interface is authenticated and authorized. If a port is the target of mirroring, then according to CDP/LLDP it is considered down. NOTE CDP and LLDP are link layer protocols for directly-connected CDP/LLDP capable devices to advertise themselves and their capabilities. In deployments where the CDP/LLDP-capable devices are not directly connected and are separated with CDP/LLDP-incapable devices, the CDP/LLDP-capable devices may be able to receive the advertisement from other device(s) only if the CDP/LLDP-incapable devices flood the CDP/LLDP packets they receives. If the CDP/LLDP-incapable devices perform VLAN-aware flooding, then CDP/LLDP-capable devices can hear each other only if they are in the same VLAN. A CDP/LLDP-capable device may receive advertisement from more than one device if the CDP/LLDP-incapable devices flood the CDP/LLDP packets.
