Voice VLAN Question | 3300 ICP

[nekminnit]

Hi all!

I had a Mitel 3300 that had the following assigned in the System IP Properties form:

Voice VLAN ID - 30
Data VLAN ID - 1

The switch it was connected to (HP Procurve) was untagged for vlan 1 and tagged for vlan 30 on all ports.

The following changes were made:

A telnet session was made to the controller via port 2002 and the following vxworks command was issued:

->Vlan_Off

The port on the procurve that the switch was connected to was then 'untagged' for Vlan 30 (and subsequently 'no untagged' on vlan 1).

The system works fine and I assume the controller is not 'tagging' packets. But when I log into the controller and check the System IP Properties, it still has a '30' in the Voice VLAN ID????

I thought the VxWorks command 'Vlan_Off' would remove this?

That command only removes the tagg until you reboot the controller, then it leaves everything as it was before issuing the command.

If you really want to get rid of vlan programming, you should clear that in the IP properties form.

Cheers Daniel! I will be sure to update the IP properties form!

Many thanks

The VLAN on and off is only a "maintenance" command and doesn't effect what is in the 3300. The reason for the command is that if you have the 3300 controller tagging its packets, if you need to plug a laptop into the front of the 3300 you will not be able to communicate with it( unless that laptop is one of the few that has a NIC that allows you to set tagging ). So VLAN off, fix the 3300 then VLAN on. Note the VLAN off would not survive a reboot so that is why you need to remove the programming from the system.


I'd tell you a UDP joke but I'm afraid you won't get it. TCP jokes are the best because you always get them.
