VLAN
VLAN is short for virtual LAN, a network of devices that behave as if they are connected to the
same wire even though they may actually be physically located on different segments of a LAN.
VLANs are configured through software rather than hardware, which makes them extremely
flexible. One of the biggest advantages of VLANs is that when a device is physically moved to
another location, it can stay on the same VLAN without any hardware reconfiguration
The purpose of VLAN configurations on the IP phone is to insert tag with VLAN information to
the packets generated by the IP phone. When VLAN is properly configured for the ports
(Internet port and PC port) on the IP phone, the IP phone will tag all packets from these ports
with the VLAN ID. The switch receives and forwards the tagged packets to the corresponding
VLAN according to the VLAN ID in the tag as described in IEEE Std 802.3.
Procedure
VLAN can be configured using the configuration files or locally.
