Auto-Video Vlan Setup
Currently I have a seperate network just for my video cameras so everything is on VLAN1. I have four Axis Cameras along with two other switches and miscellanous equipment including my NVR. I have w...
Really????? No one will help me with this?
There is not much rocket science in these Auto-VLAN configs.
If you are connecting multiple devices to a port (like a computer and a VoIP phone, or even more devices on a small edge switch like a computer, an VoIP phone, a security camera) you can run the computer on the primary VLAN (port untagged, PIVD same), while the VoIP phone and the camera can be associated - based on the OID-part of the MAC address - can be automatically associated with the VoIP resp. the video VLAN.
If done normally, you would either have to configure access ports for each VLAN on the edge switch associated untagged to the computer, one access port untagged for the VoIP VLAN for the VoIP phone, and one access port untagged for the video VLAN for the camera and have a trunked uplink with all or all minus one VLAN tagged. Or if using a simple unmanaged edge switch, you would have to configure the VoIP phone interface tagged for the voice VLAN (this is commonly easy possible), the camera interface tagged for the video VLAN (not a typical feature on cameras), ...
If I thought Auto VLANS were rocket science then I would not be confused. It is the "Auto" part that I don't get, the rest of what you said I know.
When I had phones, they never auto configured for Auto-VoIP. I had to create my own VLAN and configure the switch manually.
NOW I have cameras and a switch with Auto-Video. I have enabled Auto-Video but the cameras remain on VLAN 1.
The reason for my post is I understand and can work with vlans manually but twice now the Auto vlan feature isn't do what I understood it should be doing. Shouldn't my cameras automatically show they are on the video vlan?
Thanks
Have the camera OIDs configured for the (Auto-)Video VLAN?
