Protocol Based Auto VoIP Fields

Field Description
Auto VoIP VLAN The VLAN used to segregate VoIP traffic from other non-voice traffic. All VoIP traffic in a session identified by the call-control protocol gets assigned to this VoIP VLAN.
Prioritization Type The method used to prioritize VoIP traffic when a call-control protocol is detected, which is one of the following:
  • Remark: Remark the voice traffic with the specified 802.1p priority value at the ingress interface.
  • Traffic Class: Assign VoIP traffic to the specified traffic class when egressing the interface.
802.1p Priority The 802.1p priority used for protocol-based VoIP traffic. This field can be configured if the Prioritization Type is 802.1p Priority. If the Auto VoIP mode is enabled and the interface detects a call-control protocol, the device marks traffic in that session with the specified 802.1p priority value to ensure voice traffic always gets the highest priority throughout the network path. Egress tagging must be administratively enabled on the appropriate uplink port to carry the remarked priority at the egress port.
Traffic Class The traffic class used for protocol-based VoIP traffic. This field can be configured if the Prioritization Type is Traffic Class. If the Auto VoIP mode is enabled and the interface detects a call-control protocol, the device assigns the traffic in that session to the configured CoS (Class of Service) queue. Traffic classes with a higher value are generally used for time-sensitive traffic. The CoS queue associated with the specified traffic class should be configured with the appropriate bandwidth allocation to allow priority treatment for VoIP traffic.
Interface The interface associated with the rest of the data in the row. When editing Auto VoIP settings on one or more interfaces, this field identifies the interface(s) being configured.
Auto VoIP Mode The administrative mode of the Auto VoIP feature on the interface:
  • Enable: The interface scans incoming traffic for the following call-control protocols:
    • Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
    • H.323
    • Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP)
  • Disable: The interface does not use the Auto VoIP feature to scan for call-control protocols.
Operational Status The operational status of an interface. To be up, an interface must be administratively enabled and have a link.
