Not sure why I didn't think of not providing an uplink port. For some reason I was sure you had to specify one. That was making me think I was only a large office setup. I tried that and it worked. Thanks and good info you are providing to everyone. It really helps and I know many really appreciate it. Thanks again. Not sure why I didn’t think of not providing an uplink port.

If you are just using a single 5520 (or single stack) you don't need to worry about the ADAC uplink port and you can omit it from your configuration. Your MPLS network is most likely an IP routed connection so there's really nothing to-do there. The IP traffic would simply flow over the remaining routes (MPLS path) in the network. Cheers!

We have a very specific setup in some of smaller offices and I would like to use ADAC and LLDP to configure our phones. Some of the issue is I am not sure what the ADAC uplink port does? I know the other port look to that port for vlan information, but how do I know what port to use. Our small office setup is below. We have a stack of 5520's that handle everything in the office. They are the floor and Core switches. We have DHCP helper setup to pass DHPC to the different VLans. We also have 2 MPLS networks setup. One for Data and one for Video and Voice. They also failover for eachother, so if one goes down the other takes the load. My question is what would I choose as the uplink port in this setup? In our larger offices I am just setting the uplink as the MLT port on the floor switches that go back to our core. Thanks for any info you can provide Thanks Micheal for the info.

I was able to get the phones to work using ADAC and LLDP on the Nortel switches. I am now running into another issue. I will check the link for answers, but will post the question in case anyone knows. While configuring ADAC on the Nortel switches you have to specify an uplink port. My issue is in our smaller offices we are using the Nortel switch as our floor/core switch. We also have 2MPLS networks for redundancy. I can only specify one of those ports as the uplink port. How does avaya/nortel handles ADAC fault tolerance for small setups? thanks, Michael for the link. I was able to get the phones to work using ADAC and LLDP on the Nortel switches.

I am configuring LLDP on our Nortel 5520 with ver. 6.0 and I have the LLDP detection enabled. I am connecting Cisco 9971 phones to these switches. It seems to place the Vlan on the port when I attach a phone device, but will not place the phone on that operation vlan. Does anyone have experience in getting the LLDP detection to work with Cisco phones? thanks, I have read everyones comments on this forum and have a question of my own.
