Application Type :
Application Type indicating the primary function of the application(s) defined for this
network policy, advertised by an Endpoint or Network Connectivity Device. The possible
application types are shown below.
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 - for use in network topologies that require a different policy for the
voice signalling than for the voice media.
3. Guest Voice - to 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 - for use in network topologies that require a different policy for
the guest voice signalling than for the guest voice media.
5. Softphone Voice - for use by softphone applications on typical data centric devices, such
as PCs or laptops.
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 - for use in network topologies that require a separate policy for the
video signalling than for the video media.
Policy :
Policy indicates that an Endpoint Device wants to explicitly advertise that the policy is
required by the device. Can be either Defined or Unknown
Unknown: The network policy for the specified application type is currently unknown.
Defined: The network policy is defined.
TAG :
TAG is indicative of whether the specified application type is using a tagged or an
untagged VLAN. Can be Tagged or Untagged.
Untagged: The device is using an untagged frame format and as such does not include a
tag header as defined by IEEE 802.1Q-2003.
Tagged: The device is using the IEEE 802.1Q tagged frame format.
VLAN ID :
VLAN ID is the VLAN identifier (VID) for the port as defined in IEEE 802.1Q-2003. A value
of 1 through 4094 is used to define a valid VLAN ID. A value of 0 (Priority Tagged) is used
if the device is using priority tagged frames as defined by IEEE 802.1Q-2003, meaning that
only the IEEE 802.1D priority level is significant and the default PVID of the ingress port is
used instead.
