Voice device detection

Voice device detection

FortiSwitch is able to parse LLDP messages from voice devices such as FortiFone, and pass this information to FortiGate for device detection. You can use FortiSwitch NAC policies to assign a device to an LLDP profile, QoS policy, and VLAN policy. When a detected device is matched to a NAC policy, the corresponding policy actions will be applied on the switch port.

Example

In the following example, FortiFone is connected to port11 of FortiSwitch. A NAC policy is created to apply a VLAN policy, LLDP policy, and QoS policy to Device Family FortiFone.

To create a FortiSwitch NAC policy in the GUI:
  1. Configure a NAC policy on a switch port. See NAC policies on switch ports.
  2. Go to WiFi & Switch Controller > FortiSwitch NAC Policies.
  3. Create or edit an NAC policy.
  4. Set the Category to Device.
  5. Enable Device family, and enter name such as FortiFone.
  6. Select Apply Port Specific Settings.
  7. Enable LLDP profile, and select a voice profile from the dropdown.
  8. Enable QoS policy, and select a voice policy from the dropdown.
  9. Enable VLAN policy, and select a voice policy from the dropdown.

  10. Click OK.

    The NAC policy is applied after a FortiFone is plugged into port11 of the FortiSwitch:

To create a FortiSwitch NAC policy in the CLI:
  1. Assign the FortiFone to a VLAN policy, LLDP policy, and QoS Policy.

    config user nac-policy

    edit "FortiFone"

    set family "FortiFone"

    set switch-fortilink "fortilink"

    set switch-port-policy "FortiFone"

    next

    end

    config switch-controller port-policy

    edit "FortiFone"

    set fortilink "fortilink"

    set lldp-profile "fortivoice.fortilink"

    set qos-policy "voice-qos"

    set vlan-policy "fortiFone"

    next

    end

    config switch-controller vlan-policy

    edit "fortiFone"

    set fortilink "fortilink"

    set vlan "voice"

    next

    end

    config switch-controller lldp-profile

    edit "fortivoice.fortilink"

    set med-tlvs inventory-management network-policy location-identification

    set auto-isl disable

    config med-network-policy

    edit "voice"

    set status enable

    set vlan-intf "voice"

    set assign-vlan enable

    set dscp 46

    next

    edit "voice-signaling"

    set status enable

    set vlan-intf "voice"

    set assign-vlan enable

    set dscp 46

    next

    edit "guest-voice"

    next

    edit "guest-voice-signaling"

    next

    edit "softphone-voice"

    next

    edit "video-conferencing"

    next

    edit "streaming-video"

    next

    edit "video-signaling"

    next

    end

    next

    end

    config switch-controller qos qos-policy

    edit "voice-qos"

    set trust-dot1p-map "voice-dot1p"

    set trust-ip-dscp-map "voice-dscp"

    set queue-policy "voice-egress"

    next

    end

  2. FortiSwitch receives an LLDP message from FortiFone after it is plugged into port11.
  3. Run diagnose switch-controller switch-info to check the device information on FortiGate. The FortiFone is identified.
