Configuring VLANs

About VLANs

The Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) technology divides a physical LAN into multiple logical LANs. It has the following benefits:

·          Security—Hosts in the same VLAN can communicate with one another at Layer 2, but they are isolated from hosts in other VLANs at Layer 2.

·          Broadcast traffic isolation—Each VLAN is a broadcast domain that limits the transmission of broadcast packets.

·          Flexibility—A VLAN can be logically divided on a workgroup basis. Hosts in the same workgroup can be assigned to the same VLAN, regardless of their physical locations.

VLAN frame encapsulation

To identify Ethernet frames from different VLANs, IEEE 802.1Q inserts a four-byte VLAN tag between the destination and source MAC address (DA&SA) field and the Type field.

Figure 1 VLAN tag placement and format

A VLAN tag includes the following fields:

·          TPID—16-bit tag protocol identifier that indicates whether a frame is VLAN-tagged. By default, the hexadecimal TPID value 8100 identifies a VLAN-tagged frame. A device vendor can set the TPID to a different value. For compatibility with a neighbor device, set the TPID value on the device to be the same as the neighbor device. For more information about setting the TPID value, see "Configuring QinQ."

·          Priority—3-bit long, identifies the 802.1p priority of the frame. For more information, see ACL and QoS Configuration Guide.

·          CFI—1-bit long canonical format indicator that indicates whether the MAC addresses are encapsulated in the standard format when packets are transmitted across different media. Available values include:

¡  0 (default)—The MAC addresses are encapsulated in the standard format.

¡  1—The MAC addresses are encapsulated in a non-standard format.

This field is always set to 0 for Ethernet.

·          VLAN ID—12-bit long, identifies the VLAN to which the frame belongs. The VLAN ID range is 0 to 4095. VLAN IDs 0 and 4095 are reserved, and VLAN IDs 1 to 4094 are user configurable.

The way a network device handles an incoming frame depends on whether the frame has a VLAN tag and the value of the VLAN tag (if any).

Ethernet supports encapsulation formats Ethernet II, 802.3/802.2 LLC, 802.3/802.2 SNAP, and 802.3 raw. The Ethernet II encapsulation format is used here. For information about the VLAN tag fields in other frame encapsulation formats, see related protocols and standards.

For a frame that has multiple VLAN tags, the device handles it according to its outermost VLAN tag and transmits its inner VLAN tags as the payload.

VLAN types

The following VLAN types are available:

·          Port-based VLAN.

·          MAC-based VLAN.

·          IP subnet-based VLAN.

·          Protocol-based VLAN.

If all these types of VLANs are configured on a port, the port processes packets in the following descending order of priority by default:

·          MAC-based VLAN.

·          IP subnet-based VLAN.

·          Protocol-based VLAN.

·          Port-based VLAN.

Port-based VLANs

Port-based VLANs group VLAN members by port. A port forwards packets from a VLAN only after it is assigned to the VLAN.

Port link type

You can set the link type of a port to access, trunk, or hybrid. The port link type determines whether the port can be assigned to multiple VLANs. The link types use the following VLAN tag handling methods:

·          Access—An access port can forward packets only from one VLAN and send these packets untagged. An access port is typically used in the following conditions:

¡  Connecting to a terminal device that does not support VLAN packets.

¡  In scenarios that do not distinguish VLANs.

·          Trunk—A trunk port can forward packets from multiple VLANs. Except packets from the port VLAN ID (PVID), packets sent out of a trunk port are VLAN-tagged. Ports connecting network devices are typically configured as trunk ports.

·          Hybrid—A hybrid port can forward packets from multiple VLANs. The tagging status of the packets forwarded by a hybrid port depends on the port configuration. In one-to-two VLAN mapping, hybrid ports are used to remove SVLAN tags for downlink traffic. For more information about one-to-two VLAN mapping, see "Configuring VLAN mapping."

PVID

The PVID identifies the default VLAN of a port. Untagged packets received on a port are considered as the packets from the port PVID.

An access port can join only one VLAN. The VLAN to which the access port belongs is the PVID of the port. A trunk or hybrid port supports multiple VLANs and the PVID configuration.

How ports of different link types handle frames

Actions

Access

Trunk

Hybrid

In the inbound direction for an untagged frame

Tags the frame with the PVID tag.

·         If the PVID is permitted on the port, tags the frame with the PVID tag.

·         If not, drops the frame.

In the inbound direction for a tagged frame

·         Receives the frame if its VLAN ID is the same as the PVID.

·         Drops the frame if its VLAN ID is different from the PVID.

·         Receives the frame if its VLAN is permitted on the port.

·         Drops the frame if its VLAN is not permitted on the port.

In the outbound direction

Removes the VLAN tag and sends the frame.

·         Removes the tag and sends the frame if the frame carries the PVID tag and the port belongs to the PVID.

·         Sends the frame without removing the tag if its VLAN is carried on the port but is different from the PVID.

Sends the frame if its VLAN is permitted on the port. The tagging status of the frame depends on the port hybrid vlan command configuration.

MAC-based VLANs

The MAC-based VLAN feature assigns hosts to a VLAN based on their MAC addresses. This feature is also called user-based VLAN because VLAN configuration remains the same regardless of a user's physical location.

Static MAC-based VLAN assignment

Use static MAC-based VLAN assignment in networks that have a small number of VLAN users. To configure static MAC-based VLAN assignment on a port, perform the following tasks:

1.        Create MAC-to-VLAN entries.

2.        Enable the MAC-based VLAN feature on the port.

3.        Assign the port to the MAC-based VLAN.

A port configured with static MAC-based VLAN assignment processes a received frame as follows before sending the frame out:

·          For an untagged frame, the port determines its VLAN ID in the following workflow:

a.    The port first performs an exact match. It searches for MAC-to-VLAN entries whose masks are all Fs. If the source MAC address of the frame exactly matches the MAC address of a MAC-to-VLAN entry, the port tags the frame with the VLAN ID specific to this entry.

b.    If the exact match fails, the port performs a fuzzy as follows:

-      Searches for the MAC-to-VLAN entries whose masks are not all Fs.

-      Performs a logical AND operation on the source MAC address and each of these masks.

If an AND operation result matches the MAC address in a MAC-to-VLAN entry, the port tags the frame with the VLAN ID specific to this entry.

c.    If no matching VLAN ID is found, the port determines the VLAN for the packet by using the following matching order:

-      IP subnet-based VLAN.

-      Protocol-based VLAN.

-      Port-based VLAN.

When a match is found, the port tags the packet with the matching VLAN ID.

·          For a tagged frame, the port determines whether the VLAN ID of the frame is permitted on the port.

¡  If the VLAN ID of the frame is permitted on the port, the port forwards the frame.

¡  If the VLAN ID of the frame is not permitted on the port, the port drops the frame.

Dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment

When you cannot determine the target MAC-based VLANs of a port, use dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment on the port. To use dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment, perform the following tasks:

1.        Create MAC-to-VLAN entries.

2.        Enable the MAC-based VLAN feature on the port.

3.        Enable dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment on the port.

Dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment uses the following workflow, as shown in Figure 2:

1.        When a port receives a frame, it first determines whether the frame is tagged.

¡  If the frame is tagged, the port gets the source MAC address of the frame.

¡  If the frame is untagged, the port selects a VLAN for the frame by using the following matching order:

-      MAC-based VLAN (fuzzy and exact MAC address match).

-      IP subnet-based VLAN.

-      Protocol-based VLAN.

-      Port-based VLAN.

After tagging the frame with the selected VLAN, the port gets the source MAC address of the frame.

2.        The port uses the source MAC address and VLAN of the frame to match the MAC-to VLAN entries.

¡  If the source MAC address of the frame exactly matches the MAC address in a MAC-to-VLAN entry, the port checks whether the VLAN ID of the frame matches the VLAN in the entry.

-      If the two VLAN IDs match, the port joins the VLAN and forwards the frame.

-      If the two VLAN IDs do not match, the port drops the frame.

¡  If the source MAC address of the frame does not exactly match any MAC addresses in MAC-to-VLAN entries, the port checks whether the VLAN ID of the frame is its PVID.

-      If the VLAN ID of the frame is the PVID of the port, the port determines whether it allows the PVID.

If the PVID is allowed, the port forwards the frame within the PVID. If the PVID is not allowed, the port drops the frame.

-      If the VLAN ID of the frame is not the PVID of the port, the port determines whether the VLAN ID is the primary VLAN ID and the port PVID is a secondary VLAN ID. If yes, the port forwards the frame. Otherwise, the port drops the frame.

Figure 2 Flowchart for processing a frame in dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment

Server-assigned MAC-based VLAN

Use this feature with access authentication, such as MAC-based 802.1X authentication, to implement secure and flexible terminal access.

To implement server-assigned MAC-based VLAN, perform the following tasks:

1.        Configure the server-assigned MAC-based VLAN feature on the access device.

2.        Configure username-to-VLAN entries on the access authentication server.

When a user passes authentication of the access authentication server, the server assigns the authorization VLAN information for the user to the device. The device then performs the following operations:

1.        Generates a MAC-to-VLAN entry by using the source MAC address of the user packet and the authorization VLAN information. The authorization VLAN is a MAC-based VLAN.

The generated MAC-to-VLAN entry cannot conflict with the existing static MAC-to-VLAN entries. If a confliction exists, the dynamic MAC-to-VLAN entry cannot be generated.

2.        Assigns the port that connects the user to the MAC-based VLAN.

When the user goes offline, the device automatically deletes the MAC-to-VLAN entry and removes the port from the MAC-based VLAN. For more information about 802.1X and MAC authentication, see Security Configuration Guide.

IP subnet-based VLANs

The IP subnet-based VLAN feature assigns untagged packets to VLANs based on their source IP addresses and subnet masks.

Use this feature when untagged packets from an IP subnet or IP address must be transmitted in a VLAN.

Protocol-based VLANs

The protocol-based VLAN feature assigns inbound packets to different VLANs based on their protocol types and encapsulation formats. The protocols available for VLAN assignment include IP, IPX, and AT. The encapsulation formats include Ethernet II, 802.3 raw, 802.2 LLC, and 802.2 SNAP.

This feature associates the available network service types with VLANs and facilitates network management and maintenance.

Layer 3 communication between VLANs

Hosts of different VLANs use VLAN interfaces to communicate at Layer 3. VLAN interfaces are virtual interfaces that do not exist as physical entities on devices. For each VLAN, you can create one VLAN interface and assign an IP address to it. The VLAN interface acts as the gateway of the VLAN to forward packets destined for another IP subnet at Layer 3.

vlan { vlan-id-list | all }

Enter VLAN view.

vlan vlan-id

By default, only the system default VLAN (VLAN 1) exists.

3.        (Optional.) Set a name for the VLAN.

name text

By default, the name of a VLAN is VLAN vlan-id. The vlan-id argument specifies the VLAN ID in a four-digit format. If the VLAN ID has fewer than four digits, leading zeros are added. For example, the name of VLAN 100 is VLAN 0100.

4.        (Optional.) Configure the description for the VLAN.

description text

By default, the description of a VLAN is VLAN vlan-id. The vlan-id argument specifies the VLAN ID in a four-digit format. If the VLAN ID has fewer than four digits, leading zeros are added. For example, the default description of VLAN 100 is VLAN 0100.

Configuring port-based VLANs

Restrictions and guidelines for port-based VLANs

·          When you use the undo vlan command to delete the PVID of a port, either of the following events occurs depending on the port link type:

¡  For an access port, the PVID of the port changes to VLAN 1.

¡  For a hybrid or trunk port, the PVID setting of the port does not change.

You can use a nonexistent VLAN as the PVID for a hybrid or trunk port, but not for an access port.

·          As a best practice, set the same PVID for a local port and its peer.

·          To prevent a port from dropping untagged packets or PVID-tagged packets, assign the port to its PVID.

vlan precedence mac-vlan

By default, the system assigns VLANs based on the MAC address preferentially when both the MAC-based VLAN and IP subnet-based VLAN are configured on a port.

Configuring dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment

About dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment

For successful dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment, use static VLANs when you create MAC-to-VLAN entries.

When a port joins a VLAN specified in the MAC-to-VLAN entry, one of the following events occurs depending on the port configuration:

·          If the port has not been configured to allow packets from the VLAN to pass through, the port joins the VLAN as an untagged member.

·          If the port has been configured to allow packets from the VLAN to pass through, the port configuration remains the same.

The 802.1p priority of the VLAN in a MAC-to-VLAN entry determines the transmission priority of the matching packets.

Restrictions and guidelines

·          If you configure both static and dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignments on a port, dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment takes effect.

·          As a best practice to ensure correct operation of 802.1X and MAC authentication, do not use dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment with 802.1X or MAC authentication.

·          As a best practice, do not both configure dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment and disable MAC address learning on a port. If the two features are configured together on a port, the port forwards only packets exactly matching the MAC-to-VLAN entries and drops inexactly matching packets.

·          As a best practice, do not configure both dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment and the MAC learning limit on a port.

If the two features are configured together on a port and the port learns the configured maximum number of MAC address entries, the port processes packets as follows:

¡  Forwards only packets matching the MAC address entries learnt by the port.

¡  Drops unmatching packets.

·          As a best practice, do not use dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment with MSTP. In MSTP mode, if a port is blocked in the MSTI of its target VLAN, the port drops the received packets instead of delivering them to the CPU. As a result, the port will not be dynamically assigned to the target VLAN.

·          As a best practice, do not use dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment with PVST. In PVST mode, if the target VLAN of a port is not permitted on the port, the port is placed in blocked state. The port drops the received packets instead of delivering them to the CPU. As a result, the port will not be dynamically assigned to the target VLAN.

·          As a best practice, do not configure both dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment and automatic voice VLAN assignment mode on a port. They can have a negative impact on each other.

Procedure

By default, a hybrid port is not associated with a subnet-based VLAN.

Configuring protocol-based VLANs

About protocol-based VLANs

A protocol-based VLAN has one or multiple protocol templates. A protocol template defines a protocol type and an encapsulation format as the match criteria to match inbound packets. Each protocol template has a unique index in the protocol-based VLAN. All protocol templates in a protocol-based VLAN have the same VLAN ID.

For a port to assign inbound packets to protocol-based VLANs, perform the following tasks:

·          Assign the port to the protocol-based VLANs.

·          Associate the port with the protocol templates of the protocol-based VLANs.

When an untagged packet arrives at the port, the port processes the packet as follows:

·          If the protocol type and encapsulation format in the packet match a protocol template, the port tags the packet with the VLAN tag specific to the protocol template.

·          If no protocol templates are matched, the port tags the packet with its PVID.

Restrictions and guidelines

The voice VLAN in automatic mode processes only tagged voice traffic. Do not configure a VLAN as both a protocol-based VLAN and a voice VLAN.

8.        Associate the hybrid port with the specified protocol-based VLAN.

port hybrid protocol-vlan vlan vlan-id { protocol-index [ to protocol-end ] | all }

By default, a hybrid port is not associated with a protocol-based VLAN.

Configuring a VLAN group

About a VLAN group

A VLAN group includes a set of VLANs.

On an authentication server, a VLAN group name represents a group of authorization VLANs. When an 802.1X or MAC authentication user passes authentication, the authentication server assigns a VLAN group name to the device. The device then uses the received VLAN group name to match the locally configured VLAN group names. If a match is found, the device selects a VLAN from the group and assigns the VLAN to the user. For more information about 802.1X and MAC authentication, see Security Configuration Guide.

Procedure

1.        Enter system view.

system-view

2.        Create a VLAN group and enter its view.

vlan-group group-name

3.        Add VLANs to the VLAN group.

vlan-list vlan-id-list

By default, no VLANs exist in a VLAN group.

You can add multiple VLAN lists to a VLAN group.

Configuring VLAN interfaces

Restrictions and guidelines

·          You cannot create VLAN interfaces for sub-VLANs. For more information about sub-VLANs, see "Configuring super VLANs."

·          You cannot create VLAN interfaces for secondary VLANs that have the following characteristics:

¡  Associated with the same primary VLAN.

¡  Enabled with Layer 3 communication in VLAN interface view of the primary VLAN interface.

For more information about secondary VLANs, see "Configuring private VLAN."

VLAN interfaces configuration tasks at a glance

To configure VLAN interfaces, perform the following tasks:

1.        Creating a VLAN interface

2.        (Optional.) Restoring the default settings for the VLAN interface

Prerequisites

Before you create a VLAN interface for a VLAN, create the VLAN first.

Creating a VLAN interface

1.        Enter system view.

system-view

2.        Create a VLAN interface and enter its view.

interface vlan-interface interface-number

3.        Assign an IP address to the VLAN interface.

ip address ip-address { mask | mask-length } [ sub ]

By default, no IP address is assigned to a VLAN interface.

4.        (Optional.) Configure the description for the VLAN interface.

description text

The default setting is the VLAN interface name. For example, Vlan-interface1 Interface.

5.        (Optional.) Set the MTU for the VLAN interface.

mtu size

By default, the MTU of a VLAN interface is 1500 bytes.

6.        (Optional.) Set the expected bandwidth for the interface.

bandwidth bandwidth-value

By default, the expected bandwidth (in kbps) is the interface baud rate divided by 1000.

7.        Bring up the VLAN interface.

undo shutdown

By default, a VLAN interface is not manually shut down. The status of the VLAN interface depends on the status of member ports of the VLAN.

Restoring the default settings for the VLAN interface

Configuring super VLANs

About super VLANs

Hosts in a VLAN typically use IP addresses in the same subnet. For Layer 3 interoperability with other VLANs, you can create a VLAN interface for the VLAN and assign an IP address to it. This requires a large number of IP addresses.

The super VLAN feature was introduced to save IP addresses. A super VLAN is associated with multiple sub-VLANs. These sub-VLANs use the VLAN interface of the super VLAN (also known as a super VLAN interface) as the gateway for Layer 3 communication.

You can create a VLAN interface for a super VLAN and assign an IP address to it. However, you cannot create a VLAN interface for a sub-VLAN. You can assign a physical port to a sub-VLAN, but you cannot assign a physical port to a super VLAN. Sub-VLANs are isolated at Layer 2.

To enable Layer 3 communication between sub-VLANs, perform the following tasks:

1.        Create a super VLAN and the VLAN interface for the super VLAN.

2.        Enable local proxy ARP or ND on the super VLAN interface as follows:

¡  In an IPv4 network, enable local proxy ARP on the super VLAN interface. The super VLAN can then process ARP requests and replies sent from the sub-VLANs.

¡  In an IPv6 network, enable local proxy ND on the super VLAN interface. The super VLAN can then process the NS and NA messages sent from the sub-VLANs.

Restrictions and guidelines: Super VLAN configuration

·          Do not configure the VLAN of a MAC address-to-VLAN entry as a super VLAN.

·          Do not configure a VLAN as both a super VLAN and a guest VLAN, Auth-Fail VLAN, or critical VLAN. For more information about guest VLANs, Auth-Fail VLANs, and critical VLANs, see Security Configuration Guide.

·          Do not configure a VLAN as both a super VLAN and a sub-VLAN.

·          Layer 2 multicast configuration for super VLANs does not take effect because they do not have physical ports.

Super VLAN tasks at a glance

To configure a super VLAN, perform the following tasks:

1.        Creating a sub-VLAN

2.        Configuring a super VLAN

3.        Configuring a super VLAN interface

Creating a sub-VLAN

1.        Enter system view.

Make sure the sub-VLANs already exist before associating them with a super VLAN.

Configuring a super VLAN interface

Restrictions and guidelines

As a best practice, do not configure VRRP for a super VLAN interface because the configuration affects network performance. For more information about VRRP, see High Availability Configuration Guide.

Procedure

1.        Enter system view.

system-view

2.        Create a VLAN interface and enter its view.

interface vlan-interface interface-number

The value for the interface-number argument must be the super VLAN ID.

3.        Configure an IP address for the super VLAN interface.

IPv4:

ip address ip-address { mask-length | mask } [ sub ]

IPv6:

ipv6 address { ipv6-address prefix-length | ipv6-address/prefix-length }

By default, no IP address is configured for a VLAN interface.

4.        Configure Layer 3 communication between sub-VLANs by enabling local proxy ARP or ND.

IPv4:

local-proxy-arp enable

By default:

¡  Sub-VLANs cannot communicate with each other at Layer 3.

¡  Local proxy ARP is disabled.

For more information about local proxy ARP, see Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.

IPv6:

local-proxy-nd enable

By default:

¡  Sub-VLANs cannot communicate with each other at Layer 3.

¡  Local proxy ND is disabled.

For more information about local proxy ND, see Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.

Configuring private VLAN

About private VLAN

VLAN technology provides a method for isolating traffic from customers. At the access layer of a network, customer traffic must be isolated for security or accounting purposes. If VLANs are assigned on a per-user basis, a large number of VLANs will be required.

The private VLAN feature saves VLAN resources. It uses a two-tier VLAN structure as follows:

·          Primary VLAN—Used for connecting the upstream device. A primary VLAN can be associated with multiple secondary VLANs. The upstream device identifies only the primary VLAN.

·          Secondary VLANs—Used for connecting users. Secondary VLANs are isolated at Layer 2. To implement Layer 3 communication between secondary VLANs associated with the primary VLAN, enable local proxy ARP or ND on the upstream device (for example, L3 Device A in Figure 8).

As shown in Figure 8, the private VLAN feature is enabled on L2 Device B. VLAN 10 is the primary VLAN. VLANs 2, 5, and 8 are secondary VLANs that are associated with VLAN 10. L3 Device A is only aware of VLAN 10.

Figure 8 Private VLAN example

If the private VLAN feature is configured on a Layer 3 device, use one of the following methods on the Layer 3 device to enable Layer 3 communication. Layer 3 communication might be required between secondary VLANs that are associated with the same primary VLAN, or between secondary VLANs and other networks.

·          Method 1:

a.    Create VLAN interfaces for the secondary VLANs.

b.    Assign IP addresses to the secondary VLAN interfaces.

·          Method 2:

a.    Enable Layer 3 communication between the secondary VLANs that are associated with the primary VLAN.

b.    Create the VLAN interface for the primary VLAN and assign an IP address to it. (Do not create secondary VLAN interfaces if you use this method.)

c.    Enable local proxy ARP or ND on the primary VLAN interface.

Restrictions and guidelines: Private VLAN configuration

·          Make sure the following requirements are met:

¡  For a promiscuous port:

-      The primary VLAN is the PVID of the port.

-      The port is an untagged member of the primary VLAN and secondary VLANs.

¡  For a host port:

-      The PVID of the port is a secondary VLAN.

-      The port is an untagged member of the primary VLAN and the secondary VLAN.

¡  A trunk promiscuous or trunk secondary port must be a tagged member of the primary VLANs and the secondary VLANs.

·          VLAN 1 (system default VLAN) does not support the private VLAN configuration.

Configuring the uplink port

About the uplink port

Configure the uplink port (for example, the port connecting L2 Device B to L3 Device A in Figure 8) as follows:

·          If the port allows only one primary VLAN, configure the port as a promiscuous port of the primary VLAN. The promiscuous port can be automatically assigned to the primary VLAN and its associated secondary VLANs.

·          If the port allows multiple primary VLANs, configure the port as a trunk promiscuous port of the primary VLANs. The trunk promiscuous port can be automatically assigned to the primary VLANs and their associated secondary VLANs.

Procedure

Configuring voice VLANs

About voice VLANs

A voice VLAN is used for transmitting voice traffic. The device can configure QoS parameters for voice packets to ensure higher transmission priority of the voice packets.

Common voice devices include IP phones and integrated access devices (IADs). This chapter uses IP phones as an example.

Working mechanism

When an IP phone accesses a device, the device performs the following operations:

1.        Identifies the IP phone in the network and obtains the MAC address of the IP phone.

2.        Advertises the voice VLAN information to the IP phone.

After receiving the voice VLAN information, the IP phone performs automatic configuration. Voice packets sent from the IP phone can then be transmitted within the voice VLAN.

Methods of identifying IP phones

Devices can use the OUI addresses or LLDP to identify IP phones.

Identifying IP phones through OUI addresses

A device identifies voice packets based on their source MAC addresses. A packet whose source MAC address complies with an Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) address of the device is regarded as a voice packet.

You can use system default OUI addresses (see Table 1) or configure OUI addresses for the device. You can manually remove or add the system default OUI addresses.

3Com phone

Typically, an OUI address refers to the first 24 bits of a MAC address (in binary notation) and is a globally unique identifier that IEEE assigns to a vendor. However, OUI addresses in this chapter are addresses that the system uses to identify voice packets. They are the logical AND results of the mac-address and oui-mask arguments in the voice-vlan mac-address command.

Automatically identifying IP phones through LLDP

If IP phones support LLDP, configure LLDP for automatic IP phone discovery on the device. The device can then automatically discover the peer through LLDP, and exchange LLDP TLVs with the peer.

If the LLDP System Capabilities TLV received on a port indicates that the peer can act as a telephone, the device performs the following operations:

1.        Sends an LLDP TLV with the voice VLAN configuration to the peer.

2.        Assigns the receiving port to the voice VLAN.

3.        Increases the transmission priority of the voice packets sent from the IP phone.

4.        Adds the MAC address of the IP phone to the MAC address table to ensure that the IP phone can pass authentication.

Use LLDP instead of the OUI list to identify IP phones if the network has more IP phone categories than the maximum number of OUI addresses supported on the device. LLDP has higher priority than the OUI list.

For more information about LLDP, see "Configuring LLDP."

Advertising the voice VLAN information to IP phones

Figure 13 shows the workflow of advertising the voice VLAN information to IP phones.

Figure 13 Workflow of advertising the voice VLAN information to IP phones

IP phone access methods

Connecting the host and the IP phone in series

As shown in Figure 14, the host is connected to the IP phone, and the IP phone is connected to the device. In this scenario, the following requirements must be met:

·          The host and the IP phone use different VLANs.

·          The IP phone is able to send out VLAN-tagged packets, so that the device can differentiate traffic from the host and the IP phone.

·          The port connecting to the IP phone forwards packets from the voice VLAN and the PVID.

Figure 14 Connecting the host and IP phone in series

Connecting the IP phone to the device

As shown in Figure 15, IP phones are connected to the device without the presence of the host. Use this connection method when IP phones sends out untagged voice packets. In this scenario, you must configure the voice VLAN as the PVID of the access port of the IP phone, and configure the port to forward the packets from the PVID.

Figure 15 Connecting the IP phone to the device

Voice VLAN assignment modes

A port can be assigned to a voice VLAN automatically or manually.

Automatic mode

Use automatic mode when PCs and IP phones are connected in series to access the network through the device, as shown in Figure 14. Ports on the device transmit both voice traffic and data traffic.

When an IP phone is powered on, it sends out protocol packets. After receiving these protocol packets, the device uses the source MAC address of the protocol packets to match its OUI addresses. If the match succeeds, the device performs the following operations:

·          Assigns the receiving port of the protocol packets to the voice VLAN.

·          Issues ACL rules to set the packet precedence.

·          Starts the voice VLAN aging timer.

If no voice packet is received from the port before the aging timer expires, the device will remove the port from the voice VLAN. The aging timer is also configurable.

When the IP phone reboots, the port is reassigned to the voice VLAN to ensure the correct operation of the existing voice connections. The reassignment occurs automatically without being triggered by voice traffic as long as the voice VLAN operates correctly.

Manual mode

Use manual mode when only IP phones access the network through the device, as shown in Figure 15. In this mode, ports are assigned to a voice VLAN that transmits voice traffic exclusively. No data traffic affects the voice traffic transmission.

You must manually assign the port that connects to the IP phone to a voice VLAN. The device uses the source MAC address of the received voice packets to match its OUI addresses. If the match succeeds, the device issues ACL rules to set the packet precedence.

To remove the port from the voice VLAN, you must manually remove it.

Cooperation of voice VLAN assignment modes and IP phones

Some IP phones send out VLAN-tagged packets, and others send out only untagged packets. For correct packet processing, ports of different link types must meet specific configuration requirements in different voice VLAN assignment modes.

If an IP phone sends out tagged voice traffic, and its access port is configured with 802.1X authentication, guest VLAN, Auth-Fail VLAN, or critical VLAN, VLAN IDs must be different for the following VLANs:

·          Voice VLAN.

·          PVID of the access port.

·          802.1X guest, Auth-Fail, or critical VLAN.

If an IP phone sends out untagged voice traffic, the PVID of the access port must be the voice VLAN. In this scenario, 802.1X authentication is not supported.

Access ports do not transmit tagged packets.

Trunk

Hybrid

The voice VLAN must be the PVID of the port.

The port must forward packets from the voice VLAN without VLAN tags.

Security mode and normal mode of voice VLANs

Depending on the filtering mechanisms to incoming packets, a voice VLAN-enabled port can operate in one of the following modes:

·          Normal mode—The port receives voice-VLAN-tagged packets and forwards them in the voice VLAN without examining their MAC addresses. If the PVID of the port is the voice VLAN and the port operates in manual VLAN assignment mode, the port forwards all the received untagged packets in the voice VLAN.

In this mode, voice VLANs are vulnerable to traffic attacks. Malicious users might send a large number of forged voice-VLAN-tagged or untagged packets to affect voice communication.

·          Security mode—The port uses the source MAC addresses of voice packets to match the OUI addresses of the device. Packets that fail the match will be dropped.

In a safe network, you can configure the voice VLANs to operate in normal mode. This mode reduces system resource consumption in source MAC address checking.

In either mode, the device modifies the transmission priority only for voice VLAN packets whose source MAC addresses match OUI addresses of the device.

As a best practice, do not transmit both voice traffic and non-voice traffic in a voice VLAN. If you must transmit different traffic in a voice VLAN, make sure the voice VLAN security mode is disabled.

Table 3 Packet processing on a voice VLAN-enabled port in normal or security mode

Voice VLAN mode

Packet type

Packet processing

Normal

·         Untagged packets

·         Packets with the voice VLAN tags

The port does not examine their source MAC addresses. Both voice traffic and non-voice traffic can be transmitted in the voice VLAN.

Packets with other VLAN tags

The port forwards or drops them depending on whether the port permits packets from these VLANs to pass through.

Security

·         Untagged packets

·         Packets with the voice VLAN tags

·         If the source MAC address of a packet matches an OUI address on the device, the packet is forwarded in the voice VLAN.

·         If the source MAC address of a packet does not match an OUI address on the device, the packet is dropped.

Packets with other VLAN tags

The port forwards or drops them depending on whether the port permits packets from these VLANs to pass through.

Restrictions and guidelines: Voice VLAN configuration

The aging timer of a voice VLAN starts only when the dynamic MAC address entry of the voice VLAN ages out. The aging period for the voice VLAN equals the sum of the voice VLAN aging timer and the aging timer for its dynamic MAC address entry. For more information about the aging timer for dynamic MAC address entries, see "Configuring the MAC address table."

As a best practice, do not both configure voice VLAN and disable MAC address learning on a port. If the two features are configured together on a port, the port forwards only packets exactly matching the OUI addresses and drops inexactly matching packets.

As a best practice, do not configure both voice VLAN and the MAC learning limit on a port. If the two features are configured together on a port and the port learns the configured maximum number of MAC address entries, the port processes packets as follows:

·          Forwards only packets matching the MAC address entries learnt by the port and OUI addresses.

·          Drops unmatching packets.

Voice VLAN tasks at a glance

To configure a voice VLAN, perform the following tasks:

1.        Use one of the following methods:

¡  Configuring a port to operate in automatic voice VLAN assignment mode

¡  Configuring a port to operate in manual voice VLAN assignment mode

2.        (Optional.) Enabling LLDP for automatic IP phone discovery

3.        (Optional.) Use one of the following methods:

¡  Configuring LLDP to advertise a voice VLAN

¡  Configuring CDP to advertise a voice VLAN

Configuring voice VLAN assignment modes for a port

Configuring a port to operate in automatic voice VLAN assignment mode

Restrictions and guidelines

·          Do not configure a VLAN as both a voice VLAN and a protocol-based VLAN.

¡  A voice VLAN in automatic mode on a hybrid port processes only tagged incoming voice traffic.

¡  A protocol-based VLAN on a hybrid port processes only untagged incoming packets. For more information about protocol-based VLANs, see "Configuring protocol-based VLANs."

·          As a best practice, do not use this mode with MSTP. In MSTP mode, if a port is blocked in the MSTI of the target voice VLAN, the port drops the received packets instead of delivering them to the CPU. As a result, the port will not be dynamically assigned to the voice VLAN.

·          As a best practice, do not use this mode with PVST. In PVST mode, if the target voice VLAN is not permitted on a port, the port is placed in blocked state. The port drops the received packets instead of delivering them to the CPU. As a result, the port will not be dynamically assigned to the voice VLAN.

·          As a best practice, do not configure both dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment and automatic voice VLAN assignment mode on a port. They can have a negative impact on each other.

Configuring CDP to advertise a voice VLAN

About configuring CDP to advertise a voice VLAN

If an IP phone supports CDP but does not support LLDP, it will send out CDP packets to the device to request the voice VLAN ID. If the IP phone does not receive the voice VLAN ID within a time period, it will send out untagged packets. The device cannot differentiate untagged voice packets from other types of packets.

You can configure CDP compatibility on the device to enable it to perform the following operations:

·          Receive and identify CDP packets from the IP phone.

·          Send CDP packets to the IP phone. The voice VLAN information is carried in the CDP packets.

After receiving the advertised VLAN information, the IP phone performs automatic voice VLAN configuration. Packets from the IP phone will be transmitted in the dedicated voice VLAN.

LLDP packets sent from the device carry the priority information. CDP packets sent from the device do not carry the priority information.
