VLAN support
The phone can be configured as a Æ VLAN aware endpoint by enabling
VLAN support via the configuration menus. The following VLAN related
configurations can be achieved:
• Manually configured L2 VLAN only.
• Manually configured L2 VLAN and QoS.
• Automatically discovered VLAN and manual QoS.
To configure manual L2 VLAN only the phone must be configured at man-
ual VLAN ID between 1 and 4095. Vlan discovery mode must be set to
manual.
To configure manual L2 VLAN and QoS the phone must be configured as
QoS layer 2 on and a manual VLAN id between 1 and 4095. Vlan discovery
mode should be set to manual and QoS layer 2 and 3 values should be con-
figured as described in the QoS section below.
If you mis-configure a phone to an incorrect VLAN the phone will behave
as though it is not configured for and possibly not connected to the net-
work. In DHCP mode it will behave as though the DHCP server cannot be
found, in fixed IP mode no server connections will be possible.
To automatically discover a VLAN ID using DHCP the phone must be con-
figured as DHCP enabled and VLAN discovery mode set to DHCP. If QoS
is required this can be turned on and QoS layer 2 and 3 values should be
configured as described in the QoS section below.
The DHCP server must be configured to supply the Vendor Unique Option
in the correct Siemens VLAN over DHCP format.
If a phone configured for Vlan discovery by DHCP fails to discover its VLAN
it will proceed to configure itself from the DHCP within the non-tagged
LAN. In these circumstances network routing will probably not be correct;
the SIP server may or may not be reached. The default setting for the
phone is to try and perform VLAN discovery.
DLS
The Deployment Service (DLS) is a HiPath Management application for ad-
ministering workpoints (optiPoint telephones and optiClient installations)
in HiPath 8000 networks. It has a Java-supported, web-based unser inter-
face, which runs on an internet browser. Amongst the most important fea-
tures are: security (e.g. PSS generation and distribution within an Æ SRTP
security domain), mobility for optiPoint Sip phones, software deployment,
plug&play support, as well as error and activity logging.
For detailed informationen about DLS refer to the HiPath Deploy-
ment Service Administration Manual.
The Authentication is done via digital Certificates. For detailed infor-
mationen refer to the IEEE 802.1x Configuration Management Ad-
ministration Manual.
