Server Administration

Note:

Regardless of the setting of L2Q, VLANTEST, or L2QVLAN, you must have

DHCP administered so that the telephone will get a response to a

DHCPDISCOVER when it makes that request on the default (0) VLAN.

After VLANTEST expires, if an Avaya IP Telephone running R2.6 receives a non-zero L2QVLAN value, the telephone will release the IP address and send DHCPDISCOVER on that VLAN. Any other release will require a manual reset before the telephone will attempt to use a VLAN on which VLANTEST has expired. See the Reset procedure in Chapter 3 of the 4600 Series IP Telephone Installation Guide.

The telephone ignores any VLAN ID administered on the media server if a non-zero VLAN ID is administered either:

-by LLDP

-manually,

-through DHCP, and/or

-through TFTP or HTTP.

VLAN Separation

In Releases 2.4 and 2.6, VLAN separation is available to control priority tagging from the device on the secondary Ethernet, typically PC data. The following system parameters control VLAN separation:

VLANSEP - enables (1) or disables (0) VLAN separation.

PHY2VLAN - provides the VLAN ID for tagged frames received on the secondary Ethernet interface.

PHY2PRIO - the layer 2 priority value to be used for tagged frames received on the secondary Ethernet interface.
