Network Clouds The Network Clouds page contains a list of the MPLS (Multiprotocol Label
Switching) network clouds defined in the site topology.
If the system is integrated with a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager or
CMA system, it receives MPLS network information from that system, and
this page is read-only. If not, you can enter MPLS network cloud information.

Field Description
Note
Don’t confuse this with the Internet/VPN site. MPLS is a special technology typically
offered via a private WAN environment, providing more reliability than the Internet.
If your enterprise has an MPLS network cloud, you or your IT staff know about it.
