I have a BCM400 version 4.0.2.3 and I would like to add a voice VLAN.

I am currently using its LAN1 interface which is connected to a switch port on my company's data VLAN. However I am about to install 18 new wireless access points to support voice over wifi to the BCM400 and believe that traffic should have its own VLAN
with its QOS priority set above the data VLAN.

I have two IP phones working, Nortel IP Phone 2004 and a Nortel WLAN 6140 (wifi), both pointed to the IP address of LAN1. I pointed both phones to that IP address and port 7000 with manual static IP addresses when the phones booted and registered, and they seem to be working fine.

I am not currently using the BCM400's LAN2 interface, and wonder if I assign it an IP address appropriate for the voice VLAN and connect it to a switch port on the voice VLAN, should I expect the same results, or is there additional configuration?
If I boot a phone and point it to the LAN2 IP address and port 7000 should everything behave the same?
