Application Type indicating the primary function of the application(s) defined for
this network policy, advertised by an Endpoint or Network Connectivity Device. The
poosible 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 Signaling - for use in network topologies that require a different policy for
the voice signaling 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 Signaling - for use in network topologies that require a different
policy for the guest voice signaling 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 Signaling - for use in network topologies that require a separate policy for
the video signaling than for the video media.
Policy
Unknown: The network policy for the specified application type is currently
unknown.
Defined: The network policy is defined.
TAG is indicating whether the specified application type is using a tagged or an
untagged VLAN. Can be Tagged ot 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 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
-117-
