Avaya 9600 manual Vlan Separation

Administering Telephone Options

Another system value you can administer is VLANTEST. VLANTEST defines the number of seconds the 9600 IP Series Telephone waits for a DHCPOFFER message when using a non-zero VLAN ID. The VLANTEST default is “60” seconds. Using VLANTEST ensures that the telephone returns to the default VLAN if an invalid VLAN ID is administered or if the phone moves to a port where the L2QVLAN value is invalid. The default value is long, allowing for the scenario that a major power interruption is causing the phones to restart. Always allow time for network routers, the DHCP servers, etc. to be returned to service. If the telephone restarts for any reason and the VLANTEST time limit expires, the telephone assumes the administered VLAN ID is invalid. The telephone then initiates registration with the default VLAN ID.

Setting VLANTEST to “0” has the special meaning of telling the phone to use a non-zero VLAN indefinitely to attempt DHCP. In other words, the telephone does not return to the default VLAN.

Note:

If the telephone returns to the default VLAN but must be put back on the L2QVLAN VLAN ID, you must Reset the telephone. See the Reset procedure in the Avaya one-X™ Deskphone Edition for 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones Installation and Maintenance Guide.

VLAN Separation

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.

Table 12 provides several VLAN separation guidelines.
