Configuring Voice Vlan - Dell PowerConnect 6224 User Manual

Configuring Voice VLAN

The Voice VLAN feature enables switch ports to carry voice traffic with defined priority. The priority
level enables the separation of voice and data traffic coming onto the port. A primary benefit of using
Voice VLAN is to ensure that the sound quality of an IP phone is safeguarded from deteriorating when
the data traffic on the port is high. The system uses the source MAC address of the traffic traveling
through the port to identify the IP phone data flow.
The Voice VLAN feature supports a configurable voice VLAN DSCP parameter. This allows you to set
the DSCP value. This value is later retrieved by LLDP when the LLDPDU is transmitted if LLDP has
been enabled on the port and the required TLV is configured for the port.
Use the Voice VLAN Configuration page to configure and view voice VLAN settings that apply to the
entire system and to specific interfaces.
To display the page, click Switching → Voice VLAN → Configuration in the tree view.
