4.8.5 Voice VLAN
4.5.8.1 Introduction to Voice VLAN
Configure the switch port rate limit for the switch port on this page.
Voice VLAN is specially configured for the user voice data traffic. By setting a Voice VLAN and adding
the ports of the connected voice equipments to Voice VLAN, the user will be able to configure QoS
(Quality of service) service for voice data, and improve voice data traffic transmission priority to ensure
the calling quality.
The switch can judge if the data traffic is the voice data traffic from specified equipment according to the
source MAC address field of the data packet entering the port. The packet with the source MAC address
complying with the system defined voice equipment
OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier)
will be
considered the voice data traffic and transmitted to the Voice VLAN.
The configuration is based on MAC address, acquiring a mechanism in which every voice equipment
transmitting information through the network has got its unique MAC address. VLAN will trace the
address belongs to specified MAC. By This means, VLAN allows the voice equipment always belong to
Voice VLAN when relocated physically. The greatest advantage of the VLAN is the equipment can be
automatically placed into Voice VLAN according to its voice traffic which will be transmitted at specified
priority. Meanwhile, when voice equipment is physically relocated, it still belongs to the Voice VLAN
without any further configuration modification, which is because it is based on voice equipment other
than switch port.
Note
: The Voice VLAN feature enables the voice traffic to forward on the Voice VLAN, and then the
switch can be classified and scheduled to network traffic.
It is recommended there are two VLANs on
a port
-- one for voice, one for data.
Note
: Before connecting the IP device to the switch,
the IP phone should configure the voice VLAN
ID correctly
. It should be configured through its own GUI.
