NEC 5 VLAN/QoS

VoIP

696 ◆Features Aspire Software Manual

The Aspire system supports:

●IEEE802.1q (VLAN Tagging)

●IEEE802.1p (Priority)

With the VLAN tagging mode, the Aspire can handle packets with or without a VLAN tag. If the

VLAN ID of a packet is different from the registered one, that packet will be dropped.

With the use of a switch which supports VLAN tagging, Layer 2 priority control is enabled. When

available, the 8SHUBU PCB can be used to provide this option.

Using a switch which supports 802.1p allows:

●priority control

●reduction of unnecessary packets (ex: broadcast packets) and provides circuitry by restricting

a broadcast domain
