LLDP

[Bibbyboy]

Do the 56xx series phones support LLDP? Or is this something that is coming in v5 software?

No, it would be LLDP for Media Endpoint Devices (LLDP-MED) for IP Phones anyway, and no mention of it in the trial documentation for 5.0 :-( Why do you need/want it?

Just so the phones might automatically discover what VLAN their supposed to be on via what the switch is programmed for.

They can get that info from the 46xx settings file which it needs to boot up anyway

Or scope option 176 if using DHCP

Read this:

From version 2.6 the 46xx phones support LLDP-MED, as the 56XX version is basically the same i suppose these will support LLDP-MED as well.
However i did not use or tried it.

I've found it to be less initial setup to use DHCP option 176 for VLAN configuration, and never had a problem with any deployment using this. Any Windows server 2000 or newer support this, and the server doesn't need to be on anything but the default VLAN (and on some switches, won't work unless it is). String should include:

L2QVLAN=xx,VLANTEST=60

xx is the VLAN ID of the voice VLAN, and VLANTEST is optional but tells the phone if it can't find the designated VLAN or has problems using it to default back to VLAN 0 untagged.

So they do, I have never read that before I apologise Bibbyboy I was wrong :-(
