Setting the Voice Traffic Transmission Priority

In order to improve transmission quality of voice traffic, the switch by default re-marks the priority of the

traffic in the voice VLAN as follows:

z

Set the CoS (802.1p) priority to 6.

z

Set the DSCP value to 46.

Configuring Voice VLAN Assignment Mode of a Port

A port can work in automatic voice VLAN assignment mode or manual voice VLAN assignment mode.

You can configure the voice VLAN assignment mode for a port according to data traffic passing through

the port.

Processing mode of untagged packets sent by IP voice devices

z

Automatic voice VLAN assignment mode. An S3100 Ethernet switch automatically adds a port

connecting an IP voice device to the voice VLAN by learning the source MAC address in the

untagged packet sent by the IP voice device when it is powered on. The voice VLAN uses the aging

mechanism to maintain the number of ports in the voice VLAN. When the aging timer expires, the

ports whose OUI addresses are not updated (that is, no voice traffic passes) will be removed from

the voice VLAN. In voice VLAN assignment automatic mode, ports can not be added to or removed

from a voice VLAN manually.

z

Manual voice VLAN assignment mode: In this mode, you need to add a port to a voice VLAN or

remove a port from a voice VLAN manually.

Processing mode of tagged packets sent by IP voice devices

Tagged packets from IP voice devices are forwarded based on their tagged VLAN IDs, whether the

automatic or manual voice VLAN assignment mode is used.

If the voice traffic transmitted by an IP voice device carries VLAN tags, and 802.1x authentication and

guest VLAN is enabled on the port which the IP voice device is connected to, assign different VLAN IDs

for the voice VLAN, the default VLAN of the port, and the 802.1x guest VLAN to ensure the effective

operation of these functions.

Support for Voice VLAN on Various Ports

Voice VLAN packets can be forwarded by access ports, trunk ports, and hybrid ports. You can enable a

trunk or hybrid port belonging to other VLANs to forward voice and service packets simultaneously by

enabling the voice VLAN.

For different types of IP phones, the support for voice VLAN varies with port types and port configuration.

For IP phones capable of acquiring IP address and voice VLAN automatically, the support for voice

VLAN is described in
