different sets of policies, based on the authenticated user identity or port configuration.
It should be noted that LLDP-MED is not intended to run on links other than between Network
Connectivity Devices and Endpoints, and therefore does not need to advertise the multitude of network
policies that frequently run on an aggregated link interior to the LAN.
Delete
Check to delete the policy. It will be deleted during the next save.
Policy ID
ID for the policy. This is auto-generated and shall be used when selecting the polices that shall be
mapped to the specific ports.
Application Type
Intended use of the application types:
1
.
Voice
- for use by dedicated IP Telephony handsets and other similar appliances supporting
interactive voice services. These devices are typically deployed on a separate VLAN for ease of
deployment and enhanced security by isolation from data applications.
2.
Voice Signaling
(conditional) - for use in network topologies that require a different policy for the
voice signaling than for the voice media. This application type should not be advertised if all the same
network policies apply as those advertised in the
Voice
application policy.
3.
Guest Voice
- support a separate “limited feature-set” voice service for guest users and visitors with
their own IP Telephony handsets and other similar appliances supporting interactive voice services.
4.
Guest Voice Signaling
(conditional) - for use in network topologies that require a different policy for
the guest voice signaling than for the guest voice media. This application type should not be advertised
if all the same network policies apply as those advertised in the
Guest Voice
application policy.
5.
Softphone Voice
- for use by softphone applications on typical data centric devices, such as PCs or
laptops. This class of endpoints frequently does not support multiple VLANs, if at all, and are typically
configured to use an “untagged” VLAN or a single “tagged” data-specific VLAN. When a network policy
is defined for use with an untagged VLAN (see Tagged flag below), then the L2 priority field is ignored
and only the DSCP value has relevance.
6.
Video Conferencing
- for use by dedicated Video Conferencing equipment and other similar
appliances supporting real-time interactive video/audio services.
7.
Streaming
Video - for use by broadcast- or multicast-based video content distribution and other
similar applications supporting streaming video services that require specific network policy treatment.
Video applications relying on TCP with buffering would not be an intended use of this application type.
8.
Video Signalling
(conditional) - for use in network topologies that require a separate policy for the
video signalling than for the video media. This application type should not be advertised if all the same
network policies apply as those advertised in the
Video Conferencing
application policy.
Tag
Tag
indicating whether the specified application type is using a tagged or an untagged VLAN.
Untagged
indicates that the device is using an untagged frame format and as such does not include a
tag header as defined by IEEE 802.1Q-2003. In this case, both the VLAN ID and the Layer 2 priority
