Cisco Unified IP Phones and Telephony Networks
• The current VLANs might be configured on an IP subnet basis. However, an additional IP address might
• Data traffic present on the data/native VLAN may reduce the quality of VoIP traffic.
• Network security may indicate a need to isolate the VLAN voice traffic from the VLAN data traffic.
Resolve these issues by isolating the voice traffic onto a separate VLAN. The switch port to which the phone
connects would be configured to have separate VLANs for carrying:
• Voice traffic to and from the IP phone (auxiliary VLAN, on the Cisco Catalyst 6000 series, for example)
• Data traffic to and from the PC that connects to the switch through the access port of the IP phone (native
Isolation of the phones on a separate, auxiliary VLAN improves the quality of the voice traffic and allows a
large number of phones to be added to an existing network where not enough IP addresses exist for each
phone.
