Nearest-Edge Mode Operation<br />

Managing Automatic Remote Configuration Download<br />

The <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Switch</strong> is connected to the network using an untagged interface and is configured to use<br />

the Nearest-edge Mode MAC address. LLDP is configured on the untagged port of the <strong>Management</strong><br />

<strong>Switch</strong> so that the LLDP PDUs are sent with the <strong>Management</strong> VLAN information. The LLDP PDUs are<br />

sent on the untagged interface with the Nearest-edge MAC address and propagated throughout the network<br />

eventually reaching the Access <strong>Switch</strong>.<br />

For example:<br />

-> vlan 999 name “VLAN 999”<br />

-> vlan 999 members port 1/1/1 untagged<br />

Access <strong>Switch</strong><br />

When used in conjunction with the Automatic Remote Configuraton feature no configuration is necessary<br />

on the Access Omni<strong>Switch</strong>es. Newly connected switches without a vcboot.cfg file receive the Nearest-<br />

Edge LLDP PDUs, discover the <strong>Management</strong> VLAN, tag the port with that VLAN ID, and create a DHCP<br />

client interface on the Managment VLAN. This auto-configuration allows the DHCP client interface on<br />

the Omni<strong>Switch</strong> to receive an IP address in the proper IP subnet.<br />
