The TAC engineer I asked for configuration help found this link for me (I feel dumb being simply out-Googled, but appreciative that he went outside Cisco-only docs and actually found me good interop info)
http://www.avaya.de/emea/de/resource/assets/applicationnotes/CSCO_LLDP-MED.pdf On the access ports, we have: switchport switchport host switchport access vlan 100 switchport voice vlan 400 And globally all I had to turn on was "lldp run" We do connect workstations through the phone's built-in switch, and we do use the separate data and voice VLANs. Operationally, we're serving the DHCP options to the phones (a big string of variables in option 176) but in the lab I verified the phone would receive and use the voice and data VLANs separate via LLDP parameters, without help from DHCP. The only thing I noticed missing was the precise power info. AF power determines that the phone is class 2, so it allocates 7.9 Watts from the PS, but if CDP was there (or the Power TLVs in LLDP were open standard, instead of Avaya Propreitary) then it would get the more precise consumption (say 6.2 Watt) and be able to allocate more phones out of the same PS. Other than that, seems to work like a charm. We get lots of good info from the phones via LLDP. -Geoff On Mon, Aug 31, 2009 at 8:58 AM, Andrew Gallo<akg1...@gmail.com> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Would you mind sharing your IOS config, DHCP options, phone version & > settings file? > > I've had varying success with Avaya and Cisco LLDP. > > Then again, I'm using SIP loads on the phones. > > Thanks. > > > > Geoffrey Pendery wrote: >> "A compatible device (i.e. one the presents itself as a phone via CDP) >> would activate the voice VLAN and thus allow tagged incoming traffic >> on VLAN 66.
