Voice and Media

 

 

 

 

 

Enable ports for this feature. When enabled on a port, the port is automatically made member of the configured voice VLAN when the switch receives an OUI frame (the administrator does not need to manually add the port as a member of the VLAN).

 

The Port VLAN Membership page shows that the port is a member of the Voice

 

VLAN.

 

To configure OUI-based Voice and Media:

 

 

STEP 1

Click VLAN Management > Voice and Media > Telephony OUI Based in the

 

navigation window.

STEP 2

Check VLAN to enable modifying the VLAN ID and Priority fields.

STEP 3

In the VLAN ID field, specify the VLAN to carry voice traffic. This VLAN should

 

already be configured on the switch (see Creating VLANs).

STEP 4

In the Priority field, specify the IEEE 802.1p Class-of-Service (CoS) priority level for

 

VoIP traffic.

STEP 5

Click Apply. Your changes are saved to the Running Configuration.

STEP 6

In the Telephony OUI Based Interface Settings Table, select an interface to

 

configure, and then click Edit.

 

NOTE: Set the an auto VoIP port to be a General port, not a Trunk or Access port.

STEP 7

Select Enable for the Auto VoIP mode. The port is automatically added as a

 

member of the voice VLAN.

STEP 8

Click Apply and then click Close. Your changes are saved to the Running

 

Configuration.

 

 

Configuring SIP/H323 Based Voice and Media

You can use the SIP/H323 Based Auto VoIP page to configure the switch to recognize VoIP traffic by its protocol, such as the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and H.323. The traffic is automatically assigned the highest priority available on the system.

To configure SIP/H323 based Voice and Media:

SLM2008PTNA specifications

Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is a robust network switch designed specifically for small to medium-sized businesses. It operates with 8 Fast Ethernet ports, providing advanced features and best-in-class performance to enhance your network infrastructure. This model ensures seamless connectivity for multiple devices, making it an ideal choice for environments requiring reliable network communication.

One of the standout features of the SLM2008PTNA is its Layer 2 switching capabilities. This switch supports auto-negotiation, which allows each port to automatically detect the speed of the connected device and adjust accordingly. This ensures optimal performance and smooth operation across various connected devices. Additionally, the switch supports a non-blocking architecture, ensuring that bandwidth is not shared, which significantly enhances data transmission speed.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is another key technology incorporated into the Cisco SLM2008PTNA. It simplifies the installation of network devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points by supplying power through the Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power sources, reducing installation costs and increasing flexibility in device placement.

Moreover, the SLM2008PTNA comes equipped with advanced security features, such as port security and VLAN support. Port security allows network administrators to restrict access to the network based on MAC addresses, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing network security. The support for Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) enables the segmentation of the network into different logical networks, improving traffic management and security within each segment.

The switch is designed for easy management and monitoring, featuring a user-friendly web interface that simplifies configuration. This allows network administrators to quickly set up and manage the device without requiring extensive technical knowledge. Additionally, its compact design makes it suitable for desktop or rack-mount installation, maximizing space efficiency in network environments.

In conclusion, the Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is an essential component for small to medium-sized businesses looking to enhance their network performance. With its Layer 2 switching capabilities, Power over Ethernet support, advanced security features, and ease of management, this switch provides a well-rounded solution for modern networking needs, delivering reliable performance and scalability for growth.
