Edit MAC VLAN Function of Interface
Step 3
Click Enable button to enable MAC VLAN function of the interface.
----End
NOTE
MAC VLAN can be enabled only on hybrid interface.
When Eth-Trunk is used, the MAC VLAN attribute of Eth-Trunk interface will follow the principles
below:
1
)
If Eth-Trunk is created, the MAC VLAN attribute of Eth-Trunk interface is set as default value;
2
)
If added to Eth-Trunk, the interface will be not displayed in MAC VLAN interface list;
3
)
If removed from Eth-Trunk,the MAC VLAN attribute of original interface will recover.
5.3 Voice VLAN
It is recommended that the VoIP network traffic should be separated from other data traffics
when deploying IP technology in enterprise network. Flow separation can prevent data packet
delay, packet loss and the blocking effect of voice, through distributing all the VoIP traffic into
an independent Voice VLAN, thus ensures higher voice quality.
The usage of Voice VLAN can bring many benefits to users. It provides a higher security by
separating VoIP traffic from other traffics. In network, Voice VLAN ensures the necessary
bandwidth to transmit voice by using end-to-end QoS policy and high priority. VLAN
separation also protects against the unnecessary broadcast and multicast traffic, which will
seriously affect the voice quality.
This switch allows user to specify a Voice VLAN for network, and set the CoS priority for
Voice VLAN traffic. Voice VLAN traffic can detect the VoIP device connected to network
through the source MAC address of packets. When Voice VLAN traffic is detected on an
