You can configure a LLDP-MED network policy to generate an individual network policy TLV for each application type. For more information, see Define network policies.

NOTE Signaling is a series of control packets that are exchanged 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.
