Variable definitions

Variable Value
TimeMark Displays the time the latest TLV-based information is received from an Avaya IP phone.
LocalPortNum Displays the number of the switch port on which the TLV-based information is received.
Index Displays a unique identifier for the connected Avaya IP phone.
Dot1QFraming Displays the Layer 2 frame tagging mode for the Avaya IP phone connected to the switch port. Values include:
  • tagged—frames are tagged based on the tagging value the Avaya IP phone receives with the LLDP-MED Network Policy TLV.

  • non-tagged—frames are not tagged with 802.1Q priority.

  • auto—an attempt is made to tag frames based on the tagging value the Avaya IP phone receives with the LLDP-MED Network Policy TLV. If there is no LLDP-MED Network Policy information available, an attempt is made to tag frames based on server configuration. If that fails, traffic is transmitted untagged.

  • The default tagging mode is auto.
