174CHAPTER 13: CONFIGURING QUALITY OF SERVICE

Defining Voice

Voice VLAN allows network administrators to enhance VoIP service by

VLAN

configuring ports to carry IP voice traffic from IP phones on a specific

 

VLAN. VoIP traffic has a preconfigured OUI prefix in the source MAC

 

address. Network Administrators can configure VLANs on which voice IP

 

traffic is forwarded. Non-VoIP traffic is dropped from the Voice VLAN in

 

auto Voice VLAN secure mode. Voice VLAN also provides QoS to VoIP,

 

ensuring that the quality of voice does not deteriorate if the IP traffic is

 

received unevenly. The system supports one Voice VLAN.

 

There are two operational modes for IP Phones:

 

IP phones are configured with VLAN-mode as enabled, ensuring that

 

tagged packets are used for all communications.

 

If the IP phone’s VLAN-mode is disabled, the phone uses untagged

 

packets. The phone uses untagged packets while retrieving the initial

 

IP address through DHCP. The phone eventually use the Voice VLAN

 

and start sending tagged packets.
