VLAN Management
Voice VLA N

•When a new voice VLAN is configured/discovered, the device automatically
creates it, and replaces all the port memberships of the existing voice VLAN
to the new voice VLAN. This may interrupt or terminate existing voice
sessions, which is expected when network topology is altered.
NOTE If the device is in Layer 2 system mode, it can synchronize with only
VSDP capable switches in the same management VLAN. If the device is in
Layer 3 system mode, it can synchronize with VSDP capable switches that
are in the directly-connected IP subnets configured at the device.
Auto Smartport works with CDP/LLDP to maintain the port memberships of the
voice VLAN when voice end-points are detected from the ports:
•When CDP and LLDP are enabled, the device sends out CDP and LLDP
packets periodically to advertise the voice VLAN to the voice endpoints to
use.
•When a device attaching to a port advertises itself as a voice endpoint
through CDP and/or LLDP, the Auto Smartport automatically adds the port
to the voice VLAN by applying the corresponding Smartport macro to the
port (if there is no other devices from the port advertising a conflicting or
superior capability). If a device advertises itself as a phone, the default
Smartport macro is phone. If a device advertises itself as a phone and host
or phone and bridge, the default Smartport macro is phone+desktop.
Voice VLAN QoS
Voice VLAN can propagate the CoS/802.1p and DSCP settings by using LLDP-
MED Network policies. The LLDP-MED is set by default to response with the Voice
QoS setting if an appliance sends LLDP-MED packets. MED-supported devices
must send their voice traffic with the same CoS/802.1p and DSCP values, as
received with the LLDP-MED response.
You can disable the automatic update between Voice VLAN and LLDP-MED and
use his own network policies.
Working with the OUI mode, the device can additionally configure the mapping
and remarking (CoS/802.1p) of the voice traffic based on the OUI.
By default, all interfaces are CoS/802.1p trusted. The device applies the quality of
service based on the CoS/802.1p value found in the voice stream. In Auto Voice
VLAN, you can override the value of the voice streams using advanced QoS. For
Telephony OUI voice streams, you can override the quality of service and
optionally remark the 802.1p of the voice streams by specifying the desired CoS/
802.1p values and using the remarking option under Telephony OUI.
