User Manual rev. 1.2. Aug. 2015
125
This network policy is potentially advertised and associated with multiple sets of application
types supported on a given port. The application types specifically addressed are:
1. Voice
2. Guest Voice
3. Softphone Voice
4. Video Conferencing
5. Streaming Video
6. Control / Signalling (conditionally support a separate network policy for the media types
above)
A large network may support multiple VoIP policies across the entire organization, and different
policies per application type. LLDP-MED allows multiple policies to be advertised per port,
each corresponding to a different application type. Different ports on the same Network
Connectivity Device may advertise 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 Signalling (conditional) - for use in network topologies that require a different policy
for the voice signalling 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 Signalling (conditional) - for use in network topologies that require a different
policy for the guest voice signalling 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
