• Switch-port detection needs the network switch to send LLDP to connected devices with the Chassis ID and Port ID TLVs; Zoom recommends a timer of about 30 seconds, it is not supported on Linux, the Mac client needs a helper application, and an IP phone with a PC behind it must pass the switch's LLDP through rather than send its own. in context
• With 'Apply minimum match criteria' enabled on a location, the public and private IP must both match and a public IP alone is not enough; Zoom recommends enabling it because otherwise a VPN user sharing the office public IP can be matched to the office. in context
• A VPN without split tunnelling hides the user's real network data, so Zoom recommends adding VPN subnets to the excluded location list, which makes VPN users get a prompt to confirm their emergency address instead of being matched. in context
