LLDP-MED Network Policies TLV<br />

A network policy in the context of LLDP-MED is a device’s virtual local area network (VLAN)<br />

configuration and associated Layer 2 and Layer 3 configurations, specifically:<br />

• VLAN ID<br />

• VLAN tagged or untagged status<br />

• Layer 2 priority<br />

• DSCP value<br />

The application type is represented by an integer (the Type integer in Table 14-6), which indicates a device<br />

function for which a unique network policy is defined. An individual LLDP-MED Network Policy TLV is<br />

generated for each application type that you specify with the FTOS command line interface (CLI).<br />

Note: With regard to Table 14-6, signaling is a series of control packets that are exchanged between an<br />

endpoint device and a network connectivity device to establish and maintain a connection. These signal<br />

packets might require a different network policy than the media packets for which a connection is made. In<br />

this case, configure the signaling application.<br />

Table 14-6. Network Policy Applications<br />

Type Application Description<br />

0 Reserved —<br />

1 Voice Specify this application type for dedicated IP telephony handsets and other appliances<br />

supporting interactive voice services.<br />

2 Voice Signaling Specify this application type only if voice control packets use a separate network<br />

policy than voice data.<br />

3 Guest Voice Specify this application type for a separate limited voice service for guest users with<br />

their own IP telephony handsets and other appliances supporting interactive voice<br />

services.<br />

4 Guest Voice Signaling Specify this application type only if guest voice control packets use a separate network<br />

policy than voice data.<br />

5 Softphone Voice Softphone is a computer program that enables IP telephony on a computer, rather than<br />

using a phone. Specify this application type for this type of endpoint device.<br />

6 Video Conferencing Specify this application type for dedicated video conferencing and other similar<br />

appliances supporting real-time interactive video.<br />

7 Streaming Video Specify this application type for broadcast or multicast based video content distribution<br />

and other similar applications supporting streaming video services. This does not<br />

include video applications relying on TCP with buffering.<br />

8 Video Signaling Specify this application type only if video control packets use a separate network<br />

policy than video data.<br />
