Policy ID: ID for the policy. This is auto generated and shall be used when selecting the
policies that shall be mapped to the specific ports.
Application Type: Intended use of the application types:
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 (conditional) - for use in network topologies that require a
different policy for the voice signalling than for the voice media. This
application type should not be advertised if all the same network policies
apply as those advertised in the Voice application policy.
3. Guest Voice - 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 (conditional) - for use in network topologies that
require a different policy for the guest voice signalling than for the guest
voice media. This application type 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.
