Interoperation Between Switches and IP Phones Through the PVID of the Voice VLAN ID

Overview

If an IP phone sends packets with VLAN 0 or untagged packets, the PVID of an interface can be added to the voice packets. Then the priority of the voice packets is increased based on the VLAN ID. In versions earlier than V200R003C00, switches do not support OUI-based voice VLANs. If an IP phone can send only packets with VLAN 0 or untagged packets, the IP phone can access the switch in this mode.

For applicable IP phones, see List of IP Phone Models That Can Be Connected to Switches.

Configuration Notes

• This example applies to all versions of all S series switches.

• If the IP phone cannot go online, rectify the fault according to Appendix 1: Common Causes for IP Phones' Login Failures and Workaround.

Networking Requirements

In Figure 2-14, to save investment costs, the customer requires that IP phones connect to the network through VoIP. IP phones cannot obtain voice VLAN IDs and can send only untagged voice packets. The network plan should meet the following requirements:

• The priority of voice packets is increased to ensure communication quality of IP phones.
• Voice packets are transmitted in VLAN 100.
• IP addresses of IP phones are dynamically allocated by the DHCP server, and are on a different network segment from that of the DHCP server.
• IP phones need to connect to switches through MAC address authentication.

Figure 2-14  Networking diagram of connecting switches to IP phones through the PVID of the voice VLAN ID 

Configuration Roadmap

To implement interoperation between switches and IP phones through the PVID of the voice VLAN ID, you need to apply for IP addresses for IP phones, bring IP phones online after authentication, and conduct communication normally. Figure 2-15 shows the process for interoperation between switches and IP phones through the PVID of the voice VLAN ID.

The operations of applying for IP addresses and enabling IP phones to go online after authentication can be performed simultaneously.

Figure 2-15  Process for interoperation between switches and IP phones through the PVID of the voice VLAN ID 

According to the preceding process, the configuration roadmap is as follows:

• Configure VLANs to IP phones through the PVID and enable the voice VLAN function to improve the packet priority.
• Configure the DHCP relay function and DHCP server to allocate IP addresses to IP phones.
• Configure the authentication server and enable IP phones to go online after authentication.
