Command Usage
◆
When IP telephony is deployed in an enterprise network, it is
recommended to isolate the Voice over IP (VoIP) network traffic from other
data traffic. Traffic isolation helps prevent excessive packet delays, packet
loss, and jitter, which results in higher voice quality. This is best achieved
by assigning all VoIP traffic to a single VLAN.
◆
VoIP traffic can be detected on switch ports by using the source MAC
address of packets, or by using LLDP (IEEE 802.1AB) to discover
connected VoIP devices. When VoIP traffic is detected on a configured
port, the switch automatically assigns the port as a tagged member of the
Voice VLAN.
◆
Only one Voice VLAN is supported and it must already be created on the
switch before it can be specified as the Voice VLAN.
