HP Procurve 2510 voice vlan and LLDP-MED

Just because it's a hot search topic, and I love to divert attention to myself, here's a short post for you:

The Procurve 2510 while supporting LLDP, does not support LLDP-MED.
Here's a quote from the latest firmware release notes:

CLI (PR_0000069348) - The switch allows configuration of a “voice” VLAN even though
the switch does not support LLDP-MED.
That said, it's still a pretty good switch.
