Configuring a Voice VLAN

Configuration Prerequisites

1) Create a VLAN

Before configuring a VLAN as a voice VLAN, create the VLAN first.

2) Configure QoS priority settings for voice traffic on an interface

Configure QoS priority settings for voice VLAN traffic on an interface before enabling voice VLAN on
the interface. If the configuration order is reversed, your priority configuration will fail. For details, see

Configuring QoS Priority Settings for Voice Traffic on an Interface

.

3) Configure the voice VLAN assignment mode. For details, see

Setting a Port to Operate in

Automatic Voice VLAN Assignment Mode

and

Setting a Port to Operate in Manual Voice VLAN

Assignment Mode.

A port can belong to only one voice VLAN at a time.

Voice VLAN cannot be enabled on a port with Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) enabled.

Configuring QoS Priority Settings for Voice Traffic on an Interface

In voice VLAN applications, you can improve the quality of voice traffic by configuring the appropriate
QoS priority settings, including the Class of Service (CoS) and Differentiated Services Code Point
(DSCP) values, for voice traffic. Voice traffic carries its own QoS priority settings. You can configure the
device either to modify or not to modify the QoS priority settings carried by incoming voice traffic.

Follow these steps to configure QoS priority settings for voice traffic:

To do...

Use the command...

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter interface view

interface

interface-type

interface-number

Configure the interface to trust the

QoS priority settings in incoming

voice traffic, that is, not to modify

the CoS and DSCP values marked

for incoming traffic of the voice

VLAN

voice vlan qos

trust

Configure the interface to modify

the CoS and DSCP values marked

for incoming traffic of the voice

VLAN into specified values

voice vlan qos cos-value

dscp-value

Required

Use either command

By default, an interface modifies the

CoS value and the DSCP value

marked for voice VLAN traffic into 6

and 46 respectively.

The voice vlan qos command and

the voice vlan qos trust command

can overwrite each other, whichever

is configured last.
