VLAN Considerations

Table 7 provides several VLAN separation guidelines.

AND the PHY2VLAN

 

value is not zero.

All tagged frames received on the secondary Ethernet interface are changed before forwarding to make the VLAN ID equal to the PHY2VLAN value and the priority value equal to the PHY2PRIO value.

Untagged frames received on the secondary Ethernet interface are not changed before forwarding.

The Ethernet switch forwarding logic determines that frames received on the Ethernet line interface are forwarded to the secondary Ethernet interface or to the telephone without regard to specific VLAN IDs or the existence of tags.

Tagged frames received on the Ethernet line interface will only be forwarded to the secondary Ethernet interface if the VLAN ID equals PHY2VLAN.

Tagged frames received on the Ethernet line interface will only be forwarded to the telephone if the VLAN ID equals the VLAN ID used by the telephone.

Untagged frames will continue to be forwarded or not forwarded as determined by the Ethernet switch forwarding logic.
