MS Surface trying to run LLDP script for phones

[DH1]

We run LLDP scripts for our MITEL VOIP phones and I have noticed that Microsoft Surfaces running Windows 10 try to run the LLDP script constantly and it fills the logs on the switches. If we disable the Microsoft LLDP Protocol Driver on the Surface it stops.

Is there a way to have the switch not run the script when the Surface connects? We have advised our helpdesk to disable this but that doesn't always happen.

You can check the vendor name. Assuming the variable is set to MITEL, you could then add a condition for it, something like:

if (!$match($EVENT.DEVICE_MANUFACTURER_NAME,MITEL)) then

just verify how is set that variable.

You might check to see if the OUI is unique for the Mitel phones and only do the LLDP portion of the scripts if the MAC of the device detected has that OUI. This would at least cut out the System.userComment log entries.

Yes, we are using UPM profile device-detect to detect the phones when they are plugged in. Here is the script

************Profile Contents Begin************

#@Description Voice VLAN name
set var voicevlan XXXX
if (!$match($EVENT.NAME,DEVICE-DETECT)) then
create log entry ***Starting_LLDP_Config***
endif
#Link Layer Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint Discover

configure lldp port $EVENT.USER_PORT advertise vendor-specific med capabilities

configure lldp port $EVENT.USER_PORT advertise vendor-specific med policy application voice vlan $voicevlan dscp 46
create log entry ***Config_LLDP_Parameters_Complete***
create log entry ***End_LLDP_Generic_Config***

Here is a snippet of the log

What LLDP scripts are you using? Is this a UPM profile triggered on a device-detect event?

Can you post a snippet of the log, as well as the UPM config if relevant?
