Hi Guys,

A friend of mine has asked for some help where he needs to configure some VOIP phones into a network and they have created a vlan for each individual office, which have as few as 4 data points, and a maximum of 12.

Each desk only has one data point going to it, so we have no choice in the fact that we have to use the handset to give a connection to the network for the PC as well.

Is it possible to have a voice vlan for the entire network, and then have the phone use the appropriate data vlan for that office (obviously manually configured). That way I can implement solme quality of service to the voice traffic globally?

Many thanks in advance.

You untag the VLAN for the stuff that plugs in the back, then tag the voice VLAN for the phone to use. Like:

switchport access vlan 10
switchport voice vlan 20

For the ports in one office. Then for the next one you do:

switchport access vlan 30
switchport voice vlan 20

etc.
