Identifying Smartport Type
If Auto Smartport is globally enabled (in the Properties page) , and at an interface
(in the
Interface Settings page), the switch applies a SmartPort macro to the
interface based on the Smartport type of the attaching device. Auto SmartPort
derives the SmartPort types of attaching devices based on the CDP and/or LLDP
the devices advertise.
If, for example, an IP phone is attached to a port, it transmits CDP or LLDP packets
that advertise its capabilities. After reception of these CDP and/or LLDP packets,
the switch derives the appropriate SmartPort type for phone and applies the
corresponding SmartPort macro to the interface where the IP phone attaches.
Unless Persistent Auto SmartPort is enabled on an interface, the SmartPort type
and resulting configuration applied by Auto SmartPort will be removed if the
attaching device(s) ages out, links down, reboots, or conflicting capabilities are
received. Aging out times are determined by the absence of CDP and/or LLDP
advertisements from the device for a specified time period.
Using CDP/LLDP Information to Identify Smartport Types
The switch detects the type of device attached to the port, based on the CDP/
LLDP capabilities .
