Any Entry level Voice Vlan capable switch for home lab?
Hello there, im looking for an affordable Voice Vlan capable managed switch i currently have the GS308E thats its Vlan capable but as i continue to learn i find out voice vlan is a different featur...
Nothing that stops you from configuring the port connecting the VoIP phone for the normal data for any IP Phone (untagged), and manually configure the intended VoIP VLAN tagged on the switch and the phone in a home lab environment. QOS marking is optional for prioritization on your router and the connecting infrastructure. just a nice to have.
this is what i want to do:
make my phone detect lets say vlan 30 automaticallty.
and then once i connect my pc behind the phone the computer will grab vlan 20.
right now i have my mikrotik router setup to provide native subnet 192.168.1.0/24 , vlan 10, 20 and 30
my port 1 on switch gs308 connected to router,
port 2,3,4 get native subnet 192.168.1./24
port 5 get vlan 10 172.16.10.1/24
port 6 get vlan 20 192.168.20.1/24
port 7 get vlan 30 10.30.30.1/24
all this ports get ip automatically by dhcp server
port 8 have all vlan, 10,20,30 and the native subnet
i cannot get my phone grab vlan 30 when connecting to port 8, because it needs voice vlan capable switch correct?

No. Standard IP phones are operating the normal (when you connect a non-VLAN aware device) like an access port, read untagged, associated to the VLAN intended, and the same PVID. The same applies to the loop-through port where on a work place the normal data port is available. Only the pure voice traffic VLAN is tagged and optionally QOS tagged/marked.
