I have serveral Cisco MediaNET IP Video Cameras on my network. The profiler is profiling them as a trunk port. Any suggestions?

For clarification: I think you are saying that when you are viewing the endpoints by device port, the port they are on is indicating 'trunk port' so the endpoint information is not being displayed (e.g., MAC, IP, Profile, etc.)

Profiler is discovering the MAC of these devices and profiling them into the desired profile correct?

Do these Video cameras use CDP for discovery/provisioning by chance?

My initial thought on this is that your Video Cameras
are talking CDP to the switch. Beacon will mark ports
with CDP information as trunks. Currently the only
exception is for Cisco IP Phones.

Could you check the CDP information on that the port?

Yes the Cisco IP Cameras do send CDP.

You may want to update the CDP Exclusion list to "/air|ade|phone|station|civs|polycom/i" (from "Phone/i") in the Beacon Server configuration. Cisco Video Surveillance IP Cameras CDP platform is usually starting with "CIVS-IPC". The updated CDP Exclusion list will ensure that ports where Cisco Video Surveillance IP Cameras (running CDP) are connected are not handled as trunk ports.
