Managing VoIP Traffic

– 181 –

When OUI is selected, be sure to configure the MAC address ranges

in the Telephony OUI list.

Forced

The Voice VLAN feature is enabled on the port.

Security – Enables security filtering that discards any non-VoIP

packets received on the port that are tagged with the voice VLAN ID.

VoIP traffic is identified by source MAC addresses configured in the

Telephony OUI list, or through LLDP which is used to discover VoIP

devices attached to the switch. Packets received from non-VoIP sources

are dropped. (Default: Disabled)

Discovery Protocol – Selects a method to use for detecting VoIP

traffic on the port. (Default: OUI)

OUI – Traffic from VoIP devices is detected by the Organizationally

Unique Identifier (OUI) of the source MAC address. OUI numbers

are assigned to manufacturers and form the first three octets of a

device MAC address. MAC address OUI numbers must be configured

in the Telephony OUI list so that the switch recognizes the traffic as

being from a VoIP device.

LLDP – Uses LLDP (IEEE 802.1ab) to discover VoIP devices

attached to the port. LLDP checks that the “telephone bit” in the

system capability TLV is turned on. See

"Link Layer Discovery

Protocol"

for more information on LLDP.

Both – Both OUI table lookup and LLDP are used to detect VoIP

traffic on a port.

This option only works when the detection mode is set to “Auto.” LLDP

should also be enabled before setting the discovery protocol to “LLDP”

or “Both.” Note that changing the discovery protocol to “OUI” or “LLDP”

will restart auto detection process.
