VLAN Default Value and Priority Tagging
The system value L2QVLAN is initially set to “0” and identifies the 802.1Q VLAN Identifier. This
default value indicates “priority tagging” as defined in IEEE 802.IQ Section 9.3.2.3. Priority
tagging specifies that your network closet Ethernet switch automatically insert the switch port
default VLAN without changing the user priority of the frame (cf. IEEE 802.1D and 802.1Q).
The VLAN ID = 0 (zero) is used to associate priority-tagged frames to the port/native VLAN of
the ingress port of the switch. But some switches do not understand a VLAN ID of zero and
require frames tagged with a non-zero VLAN ID.
If you do not want the default VLAN to be used for voice traffic:
● Ensure that the switch configuration lets frames tagged by the 16CC telephone through
without overwriting or removing them.
● Set the system value L2QVLAN to the VLAN ID appropriate for your voice LAN.
Another system value you can administer is VLANTEST. VLANTEST defines the number of
seconds the telephone waits for a DHCPOFFER message when using a non-zero VLAN ID.
The VLANTEST default is “60” seconds. Using VLANTEST ensures that the telephone returns
to the default VLAN if an invalid VLAN ID is administered or if the phone moves to a port where
the L2QVLAN value is invalid. The default value is long, allowing for the scenario that a major
power interruption is causing the phones to restart. Always allow time for network routers, the
DHCP servers, etc. to be returned to service. If the telephone restarts for any reason and the
VLANTEST time limit expires, the telephone assumes the administered VLAN ID is invalid. The
telephone then initiates registration with the default VLAN ID.
Setting VLANTEST to “0” has the special meaning of telling the phone to use a non-zero VLAN
indefinitely to attempt DHCP. In other words, the telephone does not return to the default VLAN.
Note:
Note: If the telephone returns to the default VLAN but must be put back on the
L2QVLAN VLAN ID, you must Reset the telephone. See the Reset procedure in
the Avaya Agent Deskphone 16CC Installation and Maintenance Guide.
VLAN Separation
VLAN separation is available to control priority tagging from the device on the secondary
Ethernet, typically PC data. The following system parameters control VLAN separation:
● VLANSEP - enables (1) or disables (0) VLAN separation.
● PHY2VLAN - provides the VLAN ID for tagged frames received on the secondary Ethernet
interface.
● PHY2PRIO - the layer 2 priority value to be used for tagged frames received on the
secondary Ethernet interface.
Table 10
provides several VLAN separation guidelines.
