Use the data in the following table to create a new LLDP MED policy for the local system.

Table 1. Variable definitions
Field Description
PortNum Specifies the port on which to configure LLDP MED policies.
PolicyAppType
Specifies the policy application type.
  • voice—selects the voice network policy

  • voiceSignaling—selects the voice signaling network policy

PolicyVlanID Specifies the VLAN identifier for the selected port or ports. Values range from 1–4094. If you select priority tagged frames, the system recognizes only the 802.1p priority level and uses a value of 0 for the VLAN ID of the ingress port.
PolicyPriority Specifies the value of the 802.1p priority that applies to the selected switch port or ports. Values range from 0–7.
PolicyDscp Specifies the value of the Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) as defined in IETF RFC 2474 and RFC 2475 that is associated with the selected switch port or ports. Values range from 0–63.
PolicyTagged
Specifies the type of VLAN tagging to apply on the selected switch port or ports.
  • when selected—uses a tagged VLAN

  • when cleared—uses an untagged VLAN or does not support port-based VLANs.

If you select untagged, the system ignores the VLAN ID and priority values, and recognizes only the DSCP value.
