6Click Next. Select the ports you want to use in the VLAN and click Add or Move.

„The Add button adds the ports to the new VLAN without removing them from any other VLANs.

„The Move button removes the ports from all other VLANs, and places them in the new VLAN.

The ports appear in the Current Members list.

To tag ports in the VLAN, select Tag and edit the tag value. (Tagging is required if you click Add, because the ports are then members of multiple VLANs.)

7Click Next. (Optional) To assign an IP interface to the VLAN, edit the IP address or select DHCP Client. To enable the IP interface, select Interface Enabled.

8Click Finish.

The new VLAN appears in the Content panel.

For SVP, continue with the following steps, to disable IGMP snooping. For VoWIP types that do not require IGMP to be disabled, you can stop here.

9Select the VLAN in the VLANs table and click Properties.

10Click the IGMP tab.

11Deselect Enabled, to disable IGMP snooping on the VLAN.

12Click OK.

What’s Next? After you create VoWIP access services, you can create another service.
