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.

The Voice VLAN ID cannot be modified when the global auto-detection status is
enabled.

The following example enables VoIP traffic detection and specifies the Voice VLAN
ID as 1234.
