You can configure an aging timer for the voice VLAN. The system will remove the port from the voice

VLAN when the aging timer expires if no voice packet is received on the port during the aging timer.
Assigning ports to and removing ports from a voice VLAN are automatically performed. Automatic

mode is suitable for scenarios where PCs and IP phones connected in series access the network

through the device and ports on the device transmit both voice traffic and data traffic at the same

time, as shown in

Figure 138

. When the voice VLAN works normally, if the system reboots, the

system reassigns ports in automatic voice VLAN assignment mode to the voice VLAN after the

reboot, ensuring that existing voice connections can work normally. In this case, voice traffic

streams do not trigger port assignment to the voice VLAN.

Manual mode—You must assign the port to a voice VLAN manually. Then, the system matches the
source MAC addresses in the packets against the OUI addresses. If a match is found, the system

issues ACL rules and configures the packet precedence. In this mode, assigning ports to and
removing ports from a voice VLAN are performed manually. Manual mode is suitable for scenarios

where only IP phones access the network through the device, and ports on the device transmit only

voice traffic, as shown in

Figure 139

. In this mode, ports assigned to a voice VLAN transmit voice

traffic exclusively, which prevents the impact of data traffic on the transmission of voice traffic.

Both modes forward tagged packets according to their tags.

Table 47

and

Table 48

list the

configurations required for ports of different link types to support tagged or untagged voice traffic sent

from IP phones when different voice VLAN assignment modes are configured.
If the port that receives tagged voice traffic from an IP phone is configured with 802.1X authentication

and a guest VLAN, assign different VLAN IDs to the voice VLAN, the PVID of the accessing port, and the

802.1X guest VLAN.
When IP phones send untagged voice traffic, the voice traffic receiving ports on must operate in manual

voice VLAN assignment mode. To implement the voice VLAN feature, you must configure the PVID of

each receiving port as the voice VLAN. As a result, you cannot implement 802.1X authentication.
