Configuring VoIP Traffic Ports

– 307 –

Auto – The port will be added as a tagged member to the Voice

VLAN when VoIP traffic is detected on the port. You must select a

method for detecting VoIP traffic, either OUI or 802.1ab (LLDP).

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

in the Telephony OUI list.

Manual – The Voice VLAN feature is enabled on the port, but the

port must be manually added to the Voice VLAN.

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 that discovers 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" on page 410

for more information on LLDP.

Priority – Defines a CoS priority for port traffic on the Voice VLAN. The

priority of any received VoIP packet is overwritten with the new priority

when the Voice VLAN feature is active for the port. (Range: 0-6;

Default: 6)

Remaining Age – Number of minutes before this entry is aged out.
The Remaining Age starts to count down when the OUI’s MAC address

expires from the MAC address table. Therefore, the MAC address aging

time should be added to the overall aging time. For example, if you

configure the MAC address table aging time to 30 seconds, and the

voice VLAN aging time to 5 minutes, then after 5.5 minutes, a port will

be removed from voice VLAN when VoIP traffic is no longer received on

the port. Alternatively, if you clear the MAC address table manually,

then the switch will also start counting down the Remaining Age.
