The Link Layer Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint Discover or '''LLDP-MED''' is an enhancement to the Link Layer Discovery Protocol that is designed to allow for things such as:

  • Auto-discovery of LAN policies (such as VLAN, Layer 2 Priority and Diffserv settings) leading to "plug and play" networking.

  • Device location discovery to allow creation of location databases and, in the case of VoIP, E911 services.

  • Extended and automated power management of Power-over-Ethernet endpoints.

  • Inventory management, allowing network administrators to track their network devices, and determine their characteristics (manufacturer, software and hardware versions, serial / asset number).


The LLDP-MED protocol was ratified by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) in 2005.
