Questions on QoS for Voice

Hello,

 

If I setup a new VLAN for the voice, should I still program the Qos for PBX since data and voice are in differenct subnet/vlan?

 

If yes, how do I program QoS on voice vlan to have priority 6?

 

Thank you

Re: Questions on QoS for Voice

You would normally configure the end devices to correctly tag the traffic.

 

"6" is not the IEEE standard CoS setting for voice.

Re: Questions on QoS for Voice

adding the voice keyword to a VLAN does the following:
enables LLDP-MED
sets 802.1p to 6
sets DSCP to EF, and
transmits the Vlan ID to the end device.

 

Thank you,

Re: Questions on QoS for Voice

I've been wanting to see this spelled out for years!

Thanks!

 

On a side note, notice HP uses a value of "6" for 802.1p?

As you can see, this is not IEEE-standard-compliant, the correct value should be "5":

I've been hassling HP about this for years...
