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 fields are ignored and only the DSCP value has relevance.
Tagged indicates that the device is using the IEEE 802.1Q tagged frame format, and that
both the VLAN ID and the Layer 2 priority values are being used, as well as the DSCP value.
The tagged format includes an additional field, known as the tag header. The tagged frame
format also includes priority tagged frames as defined by IEEE 802.1Q-2003.
 VLAN ID :
VLAN identifier (VID) for the port as defined in IEEE 802.1Q-2003.
 L2 Priority :
L2 Priority is the Layer 2 priority to be used for the specified application type. L2 Priority may
specify one of eight priority levels (0 through 7), as defined by IEEE 802.1D-2004. A value of
0 represents use of the default priority as defined in IEEE 802.1D-2004.
 DSCP :
DSCP value to be used to provide Diffserv node behaviour for the specified application type
as defined in IETF RFC 2474. DSCP may contain one of 64 code point values (0 through
63). A value of 0 represents use of the default DSCP value as defined in RFC 2475.
 Adding a new policy :
Click to add a new policy. Specify the Application type, Tag, VLAN ID, L2 Priority and DSCP
for the new policy. Click "Save".
 Port Policies Configuration :
Every port may advertise a unique set of network policies or different attributes for the same
network policies, based on the authenticated user identity or port configuration.
 Port :
The port number to which the configuration applies.
 Policy Id :
The set of policies that shall apply to a given port. The set of policies is selected by check
marking the checkboxes that corresponds to the policies.
 Buttons:
Apply – Click to save changes.
