A network policy in the context of LLDP-MED is a devices VLAN configuration and associated L2 and L3 configurations.
LLDP-MED network policies TLV include:
VLAN ID
VLAN tagged or untagged status
L2 priority
DSCP value
An integer represents the application type the Type integer shown in the following table, which indicates a device function
where a unique network policy is defined. An individual LLDP-MED network policy TLV generates for each application type that
you use with OS10 commands, see Advertise LLDP-MED TLVs.
NOTE:
Signaling is a series of control packets that exchange between an endpoint device and a network-connectivity
device to establish and maintain a connection. These signal packets might require a different network policy than the media
packets where a connection is made. In this case, configure the signaling application.
