(PoE Device) LLDP Settings
You can enable Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) to allow your device to automatically receive network settings such as VLAN information from an LLDP-capable switch.
Note
Disabling Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) prevents your device from exchanging configuration information with the connected network switch. If you are using a VLAN, make sure Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is enabled, or that the VLAN Mode (under Advanced Settings → Network Settings) is set to Manual so you can configuration VLAN settings manually.
To configure LLDP settings:
Go to Advanced Settings → Admin.
Go to the LLDP section and select an option for Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP).
Select Save.
(PoE+ Device) LLDP Settings
You can enable Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) to allow your device to automatically receive network settings such as VLAN information from an LLDP-capable switch.
For devices requiring a PoE+ power source, you can also use LLDP to communicate the device’s power requirements to the network switch.
To configure LLDP settings:
Go to Advanced Settings → Admin.
Go to the LLDP section and configure the following:
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): Enables LLDP to exchange network configuration information with the connected network switch.
Note
Disabling Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) prevents your device from exchanging network configuration information with the connected network switch. If you are using a VLAN, make sure Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is enabled, or that the VLAN Mode (under Advanced Settings → Network Settings) is set to Manual so you can configuration VLAN settings manually.
Use LLDP for Power Negotiation: Determines whether the device uses LLDP to communicate its PoE power requirements to the connected network switch..
