Example for Configuring a VLAN ID-based Voice VLAN (IP Phones Send Tagged Voice Packets)

Networking Requirements

As shown in Figure 1, the switch connects to IP phones and a PC. The switch uses VLAN 2 to transmit voice packets and VLAN 3 to transmit data packets. PC A connects to IP phone A and they connect to the switch, and IP phone B separately connects to the switch. IP phones can obtain voice VLAN information through LLDP and send tagged voice packets. Users require high quality of the VoIP service; therefore, voice data flows must be transmitted with a high priority to ensure the call quality. In addition, the administrator manages many IP phones and requires simplified configurations.

Figure 1 Networking for configuring a VLAN ID-based voice VLAN

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:
  1. Create VLANs on the switch and add interfaces to VLANs to implement Layer 2 connectivity.
  2. Enable LLDP so that IP phones can obtain voice VLAN information through LLDP.
  3. Configure VLAN 2 as the voice VLAN and configure the interface to allow voice packets to pass through. Configure a VLAN ID-based voice VLAN, which relieves you from configuring OUIs.

Procedure

  1. Configure VLANs and interfaces on the Switch.

    # Create VLANs.

    <HUAWEI> system-view
    [HUAWEI] sysname Switch
    [Switch] vlan batch 2 3
    

    # Configure VLANs allowed by GE0/0/1.

    [Switch] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
    [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port link-type hybrid
    [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port hybrid pvid vlan 3
    [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port hybrid untagged vlan 3
    [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port hybrid tagged vlan 2
    [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit
    [Switch] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/2
    [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port link-type hybrid
    [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port hybrid tagged vlan 2
    [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] quit
    

  2. Enable LLDP.

    [Switch] lldp enable

  3. # Enable the voice VLAN function on GE0/0/1. The configuration of GE0/0/2 is similar to the configuration of GE0/0/1, and is not mentioned here.

    [Switch] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
    [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] voice-vlan 2 enable
    [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] voice-vlan remark-mode vlan
    [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit

  4. Verify the configuration.

    Run the display voice-vlan 2 status command to check the voice VLAN configuration.

    [Switch] display voice-vlan 2 status
