VLAN Considerations

This section contains information on how to administer 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones to minimize registration time and maximize performance in a Virtual LAN (VLAN) environment. If your LAN environment does not include VLANs, set the system parameter L2Q to 2 (off) to ensure correct operation.

VLAN Tagging

IEEE 802.1Q tagging (VLAN) is a useful method of managing VoIP traffic in your LAN. Avaya recommends that you establish a voice VLAN, set L2QVLAN to that VLAN, and provide voice traffic with priority over other traffic. You can set VLAN tagging manually, by DHCP, or in the 46xxsettings.txt file.

If VLAN tagging is enabled (L2Q= 0 or 1), the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones set the VLAN ID to L2QVLAN, and the VLAN priority for packets from the telephone to L2QAUD for audio packets and L2QSIG for signalling packets. The default value (6) for these parameters is the recommended value for voice traffic in IEEE 802.1D.

Regardless of the tagging setting, a 9600 Series SIP IP Telephone will always transmit packets from the telephone at absolute priority over packets from secondary Ethernet. The priority settings are useful only if the downstream equipment is administered to give the voice VLAN priority.
