Configure a Voice VLAN

You can configure the global settings for a voice VLAN and enable or disable the voice VLAN
for specific ports and LAGs that carry traffic from IP phones.

The voice VLAN feature can help ensure that the sound quality of an IP phone is
safeguarded from deteriorating when the data traffic on the port is high.

The following are two operational modes for IP phones:

IP phones are configured with VLAN mode enabled, ensuring that the phone uses tagged
packets for all communications.

IP phones are configured with VLAN mode disabled, ensuring that the phone uses
untagged packets for all communications. The phone uses untagged packets while
retrieving the initial IP address through DHCP. The phone eventually uses the voice
VLAN and commences sending tagged packets.
