IDoes extreme have a feature like cisco's flexlink?

Hi~

It turns out the customer keeps plugging their ip-phone into the DATA switch and is suffering from a LOOP.

Is there anything like flexlink out there?

Setup ELRP on the ports. Works flawlessly.

Alternatively, you could run a detection routine that detects a phone that's plugged in and configures the port using a universal port profile.

Below is a simplified version I took from an old Avaya doc and modified. There

create upm profile voip_company_generic
