User’s Manual of WGSW-48040HP

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.

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 (conditional) - 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.

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 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.
