VLAN separation
The Avaya J129 IP Phone has an internal network switch that is capable of using VLANs to
segregate traffic between the LAN port, the PC port and the internal port that goes to the CPU of the
phone. You can have VLAN functionality on this switch and configure the switch to isolate the traffic
destined for the CPU of the phone from the data destined to the PC port.
The configuration of the internal switch of the phone can be done through the settings file, LLDP or
DHCP. It is preferable to configure the VLAN settings on the internal switch of the phone through
DHCP or LLDP as these protocols are run prior to, and during, network initialization. If that is not
possible then the settings file configuration parameters can be used and the VLAN can be started in
automatic mode, which is the default mode.
