I had some struggles getting LLDP working to provision the CX600 with a VLAN id. I use Alcatel-Lucent switches in my environment, and I had already defined LLDP network policies for a voice VLAN that were working fine with our SoundPointIP 450s. However, the same configurations didn't work with the CX600. 

 

I did some packets captures by setting up port mirroring in my switch. The CX600 phones send out LLDP packets on boot that contain TLV sections for capability, MED capabilities, network policy, dot3 extensions and med power.If the switch doesn't respond with an LLDP PDU that contains all of the same sections, the phone ignores it, even if the response contains a defined network policy section.

 

For example, this query/response didn't work. This is the CX600 query

And here is a response that did have all of the same TLVs defined which did work:

        .... ...0 0000 0000 = TLV Length: 0

 

The missing section in the first example is the TIA - Media capabilities TLV. With that present in the second response, all is well.

 

Hoping that this saves some frustration out there for others working on this.
