Application Type: Indicates 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:
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: 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: Indicates 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: 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.
Priority: The Layer 2 priority to be used for the specified application type. One of the eight priority
levels (0 through 7).
DSCP: The DSCP value to be used to provide Diffserv node behavior for the specified application type
as defined in IETF RFC 2474. Contain one of 64 code point values (0 through 63).
Auto-negotiation: Identifies if MAC/PHY auto-negotiation is supported by the link partner.
Auto-negotiation status: identifies if auto-negotiation is currently enabled at the link partner.
If Auto-negotiation is supported and Auto-negotiation status is disabled, the 802.3 PMD operating
mode will be determined the operational MAU type field value rather than by auto-negotiation.
Auto-negotiation Capabilities: shows the link partners MAC/PHY capabilities.
