VLAN Considerations

VLAN Detection

The Avaya IP Telephones support automatic detection of the condition where the L2QVLAN setting is incorrect. When VLAN tagging is enabled (L2Q= 0 or 1) initially the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephone transmits DHCP messages with IEEE 802.1Q tagging and the VLAN set to L2QVLAN. The telephones will continue to do this for VLANTEST seconds.

●If the VLANTEST timer expires and L2Q=1, the telephone sets L2QVLAN=0 and transmits DHCP messages with the default VLAN (0).

●If the VLANTEST timer expires and L2Q=0, the telephone sets L2QVLAN=0 and transmits DHCP messages without tagging.

●If VLANTEST is 0, the timer will never expire.

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 a 9600 Series SIP IP Telephone 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 Avaya one-X™ Deskphone Edition for 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones Installation and Maintenance Guide.

The telephone ignores any VLAN ID administered on the Communication

Manager call server.

VLAN Default Value and Priority Tagging

The system value L2QVLAN is initially set to “0” and identifies the 802.1Q VLAN Identifier. This default value indicates “priority tagging” as defined in IEEE 802.IQ Section 9.3.2.3. Priority tagging specifies that your network closet Ethernet switch automatically insert the switch port default VLAN without changing the user priority of the frame (cf. IEEE 802.1D and 802.1Q).

The VLAN ID = 0 (zero) is used to associate priority-tagged frames to the port/native VLAN of the ingress port of the switch. But some switches do not understand a VLAN ID of zero and require frames tagged with a non-zero VLAN ID.

If you do not want the default VLAN to be used for voice traffic:

●Ensure that the switch configuration lets frames tagged by the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephone through without overwriting or removing them.

●Set the system value L2QVLAN to the VLAN ID appropriate for your voice LAN.
