Partial Support for Cisco Medianet 2.1 Features
Some DMP endpoints support some Cisco Medianet 2.1 features.
Note We do not support any Medianet features on DMP 4305G endpoints.
Tip To assess your network for Medianet readiness, see http://cisco.com/go/mra.
To review solution reference network designs (SRNDs) for Medianet, see

DMP 4310G
NEW IN CISCO DMS 5.2.2—
Support for some Medianet features.
Running firmware release 5.2.2, these DMPs know and can
broadcast their product type, model, and software version.
In turn, they can receive their IP address, VLAN assignment,
and network configuration settings automatically, in
anticipation of you registering them to your DMM server.
DMP 4310G endpoints in Cisco DMS 5.2.2 do not support
discovery via DHCP or autoregistration to your DMM
server. Nor do they know their physical location.
NEW IN CISCO DMS 5.2.3—Expanded support.
In addition to their earlier support of some Medianet
features, these DMPs can now receive and parse enough
information from Medianet through DHCP
1
to autoregister
themselves with your DMM server. They support discovery
via DHCP and they can learn their physical location.
After a successful autoregistration, the splash screen on
these DMPs includes key parameters and states explicitly
that setup succeeded.
DMP 4400G
NEW IN CISCO DMS 5.2.3—
Medianet 2.1 feature support by
DMP 4400G endpoints running firmware release 5.2.3 is
equivalent to support by DMP 4310G endpoints, with just
one exception. Ordinarily, a DMP 4400G can participate in
networks via either an Ethernet connection or a Wi-Fi
connection.
However:
A Wi-Fi connection by a DMP 4400G prevents it from obtaining
or using any Location Services information that Medianet might
be configured to provide.
1. With DHCP option 125 (V-I Vendor-Specific Information) for service discovery, after you configure your
supported DHCP server to support this option. See RFC 3925.
