Hi all,
I wanted some advise on how to setup the following please. I have a need to setup a network with a voip telephone system. At the moment I have a CAT 5 cable out of the switch going into a non-cisco phone and then another cable coming out of the phone and going into the PC. Both are supplied IP address from one DHCP server and both are on the same IP range.
I have read that the correct way to configure this is to setup a separate Voice and Data VLAN. slightly unsure on how to do this...
Would it be...
sw1# config t - vlan 10 - Description - Voice Vlan
I take it that there is no need to create a data Vlan I can use the Native Vlan.
Then on each interface which is connected to the phone I need to do the following ...
config t - switchport mode trunk ( to allow both vlans to send frames across this interface )
Switchport voice vlan 10 ( informs the switch that vlan 10 is the voice vlan )
I will then have to create two dhcp groups on my dhcp server and create two Ip ranges one for the voice phones and another for the data.
I'm very confused on how this actually works. How will the dhcp server know which device to assign which range to for example if my phone range is 192.168.0.x how will it know not to assign this range to a dhcp request made by a PC?
Im generally confused about the whole process and could do with a little guidance. I have also read up about lldp and any information regarding this would also be very helpful as my phones are not cisco
Thanks
