Hello,
Would it be possible to add LLDP support in the firmware for 300 Series Plus Switch (GS316EPP) and other models in this serie? The tabletop form factor and high poe-budget makes these switch ideal for me. However I am having trouble with IP phones and AP's that require poe+. My devices check the switch poe/poe+ capability bij LLDP. Now I have to set the poe-settings of my devices manually which is time consuming.
Sincerely,
Jozef

For the pure PoE++ detection this reads like a valid proposal. As a general feature alone, this might be an overkill.
Please explain in some words what config mods re required on these PDs please, and how it comes the default PoE detection might not be sufficient.
Digging a little bit more into the PD standard implementations. Single signature PDs does make up class 0...8, a setting total of single-signature classes to nine everything is based on resistor based signatures. More complex schemes are using dual signature classes on multiple pairsets.
Can't see that any LDAP-MED or the like is mandatory.
Our PD's are mainly AP's from Ruckus Wireless and use a poe negotiation based on LLDP. These APs can operate on different poe levels. They power up on poe (802.3af) with reduced functions and transmit power. After that the AP uses LLDP to determine the capability of the PSE. If the PSE is capable of poe+ or poe++ the AP switches to the corresponding poe mode and increases transmit power and functionality. In this way the AP is usable with wide range of PSE's.
I hope this explains why I like to have LLDP support on the 300 Series Plus Switch (GS316EPP) and the other switches in this serie.
