[asterisk-users] Experience with LLDP

If you have a network that doesn't support CDP (such as an all Juniper
network), LLDP will do the job for you, as long as your phone supports
it. The latest Polycom sip firmware supports it (but none of their
older phones can run the new firmware, just the newer ones), as well
as the latest bootrom. The Cisco 79x1 series and newer support it, but
not the older 79x0 series. I believe I spoke with Aastra and Snom at
the Astricon tradeshow and they said they support it on their newer
models as well.

LLDP is fine if you can't run CDP for whatever reason, the main
sticking point is the phone support.


Thanks,
