VLAN setup on an IP phone passthrough port
Hi All,
I am attempting to setup 2 VLANs, one carry VoIP traffic and the other to carry data. My challenge is each workstation only has 1 ethernet drop, so I am going to need to use the passth...
Hi Spookz,
We have default VLAN 1 port Data Traffic. Since you will connect the PC behind VOIP phone, we need to create a second VLAN and tagged all ports for Voice VLAN and VLAN 1 (DATA) should be all untagged ports.
Example: VLAN 1 (data) and VLAN 2 (Voice)
Advanced 802.1Q VLAN should be set as "Enable".
Mitel Phone, please configure the VLAN ID to "2" instead of default.
You run the VoIP VLAN traffic tagged, the data VLAN untagged.
- Thank you for the info. On the ports carrying these types of traffic, do I flag them as tagged or untagged on the switch?

Got it, I appreciate the clarification. If I set all the ports to untagged and have the phone tag traffic for VLAN2 (as in your example), I can then setup the router to handle VLAN2 traffic on the port coming from the switch accordingly (DHCP, QoS, etc.), correct?
Thanks again, I'm sure these are basic questions I have just not done this previously.
