Voice and Data Vlans

Voice and Data Vlans

I need to setup a switch (X460P) to be able to use a VOIP Phone (Polycom) and to be able to use a PC also. The PC MIGHT be plugged into the phone, or there may not be a phone at all, just a PC plugged into a port.

All ports on the switch would need this ability.
So far, I would do this:
Create Vlan Voice tag 10
Config Voice IPAddress 192.168.102.2/24
Config voice add ports 1-48 tag
config vlan default ipaddress 192.168.100.2/24
config vlan default add ports 1-48
ena ipforward voice
ena ipforward default
Config iproute add default 192.168.100.250

I would configure DHCP for each vlan

Now comes my real question.
How does the switch know that I'm plugging in a phone, rather than a PC (or printer or other device). ? I want the voice vlan to get DHCP from the scope I create for Voice, but if a PC gets plugged in, I want DHCP from the data scope I create.
How it know?

Depending on the Polycom model, you should be able to use LLDP to assign the VLAN ID... I would search through Polycom documentation and verify their LLDP support and then read through the LLDP section of the EXOS user guide.

It knows based off the tagging of the port. A PC will not send tagged traffic therefore it will be received on the untag VLAN of that port. Depending on how a phone is configure it should pass tagged traffic. Depending on the phone it should default tagged.
