4.8.5 Voice VLAN

4.5.8.1 Introduction to Voice VLAN

Configure the switch port rate limit for the switch port on this page.

Voice VLAN is specially configured for the user voice data traffic. By setting a Voice VLAN and adding the ports of the

connected voice equipments to Voice VLAN, the user will be able to configure QoS (Quality of service) service for

voice data, and improve voice data traffic transmission priority to ensure the calling quality.

The switch can judge if the data traffic is the voice data traffic from specified equipment according to the source MAC

address field of the data packet entering the port. The packet with the source MAC address complying with the system

defined voice equipment OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) will be considered the voice data traffic and

transmitted to the Voice VLAN.

The configuration is based on MAC address, acquiring a mechanism in which every voice equipment transmitting

information through the network has got its unique MAC address. VLAN will trace the address belongs to specified

MAC. By This means, VLAN allows the voice equipment always belong to Voice VLAN when relocated physically. The

greatest advantage of the VLAN is the equipment can be automatically placed into Voice VLAN according to its voice

traffic which will be transmitted at specified priority. Meanwhile, when voice equipment is physically relocated, it still

belongs to the Voice VLAN without any further configuration modification, which is because it is based on voice

equipment other than switch port.

The Voice VLAN feature enables the voice traffic to forward on the Voice VLAN, and then the

switch can be classified and scheduled to network traffic. It is recommended there are two

VLANs on a port

-- one for voice, one for data.
