User’s Manual of GS-4210-8P2T2S

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.

Video Conferencing - for use by dedicated Video Conferencing equipment and

other similar appliances supporting real-time interactive video/audio services.

App 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.

Video Signaling - for use in network topologies that require a separate policy for

the video signaling 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.

VLAN ID

VLAN identifier (VID) for the port as defined in IEEE 802.1Q-2003

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.

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 behavior 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.
