voice VLAN and Auto-VoIP question
we have IP phones on multiple vlans. and of course we want that traffic prioritized.
I assume that to do so I just should set up AutoVoIP on all LAGS and interfaces.
And it looks like I will not need to set up 'Voice VLAN'.
are my assumptions correct?
thanks for reading and best regards, Rob
Apologize for the late response. As per the higher tier of NETGEAR Support, while Auto VoIP alone will provide the segregation and the prioritization, it is best practice to apply the Voice VLAN setting also to tell the phone which VLAN to tag itself to, this could be important when there is a phone connected to a switch port and there is a PC connected into the phone.

thanks for the info.
however this switch is similiar but has great differences. the links do not reflect this switch .
this switch look a lot easier to configure.
for a network like ours where phone can be part of different vlans [ i set up using "vlan static routing wizard] - auto-voip seems to be all that is needed to make sure voip traffic get high priority.
per the manual
"Auto-VoIP automatically makes sure that time-sensitive voice traffic is given priority over data traffic on ports that have this feature enabled. Auto-VoIP checks for packets carrying the following VoIP protocols:
• Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
• H.323 (Prioritize only signaling packets)
• Skinny Call Control Protocol (SCCP)
All three protocols are checked during the signaling, call identification stage. Once the VoIP call is established, only the SIP and SCCP protocols are checked. This feature supports up to 48 bidirectional VoIP calls.
VoIP frames that are received on ports that have the Auto-VoIP feature enabled are assigned to queue 6."
So since that is done at the packet level it looks like i do not need to bother with :
- setting up a voice vlan ,
- oui table.
those ar enot needed as the switch software decides based on the packets.
I am far from expert on network. However this switch is very different for set up then our old gsm7352 series. auto-vlan seems to be all that is needed for our set up.
[ another example is lag set up - as i posted in another post it is very different to set up - similiar in some ways but a wire must be attached to change lag type. so documentation or examples for other switches has missing important data].
Again I am not a network expert - however please tell be after looking at this switches' documentation is I am wrong about only needing auto-voip.
kind regards, Roberto
Not sure if this will help. However, let me share you the old article below and see if you will get an idea.
