Introduction<\/h2>\n
Starting from v15.5 SP1 the provisioning for IP phones has been extended to configure optional VLAN settings for devices and their respected PC port. This feature is only available for supported IP phones which have the capability to do so. Legacy IP phones and DECT devices are excluded from VLAN provisioning.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/A2LMiA7IGtnrLP86xhzG_WSOheOF-tiH_WmANF3Y4Xuzy3N-9kI12ETM1A4no9cIZjGryyjfNFPGOWtyGCc5HKSFLLnAji9HDgkqH4n8ynvjTN5keOKUw7fXMbGKld0Suw\" "\\"IP")

3CX only provides the ability to provision IP phones LAN\/WAN port and optional the PC port. However, setting up of switches, DHCP and routing remains solely the network administrator obligation. Misconfiguration of VLAN settings will result in loss of connectivity to the device and a hard reset is required (to be executed on the device itself). Furthermore, if VLAN priorities mismatch to switch port configuration, poor audio quality or connectivity issues are expected. VLAN provisioning requires good switching\/routing equipment to support those setups. 3CX VLAN provisioning can not work without matching switch\/dhcp configuration of the network and therefore should only be used by experienced network engineers after test runs in lab environments.<\/p>\n

Implementation<\/span><\/h2>\nHere is 3CX best common practice while using the IP phone\u2019s switching capability while splitting VoIP and Data traffic from each other.<\/span><\/p>\nGolden Rule:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n\n- It is not mandatory to do (admin overhead)<\/span><\/li>\n
- May use different switch port for workstations and IP phones<\/span><\/li>\n
- Mainly big installs benefit from the setup (saves switch ports)<\/span><\/li>\n
- Vlan tag on the switchport to move IP phone and PC combined in same subnet<\/span><\/li>\n
- Test it before rolling it out<\/span><\/li>\n
- Vlan Priorities do not solve fully overloaded network issues<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
The most common deployment among installations is the following:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Data Network<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n- no VLAN tag<\/span><\/li>\n
- Workstations \u2192 3CX WebClient, 3CXPhone<\/span><\/li>\n
- Routing to 3CX PBX which is in Voice Network
\n(HTTP\/s, SIP and RTP Ports)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n- Voice Network<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n- VLAN tagged (for this example Vlan ID55<\/span><\/li>\n
- 3CX Network Interface located in this network<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The above requires the IP Phone to be configured in the Voice network, therefore a VLAN tag is required and the workstation in the Data Network without any VLAN tag. For this example we will use the following topology:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Data Network 10.10.10.0 \/ 24<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n- Workstation IP 10.10.10.3 \/ 24<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Voice Network 10.10.20.0 \/ 24 (Vlan Tag 55) \u2190 Lan\/WAN Port Vlan<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n- 3CX PBX IP 10.10.20.2 \/ 24<\/span><\/li>\n
- IP Phone 10.10.20.5 \/ 24<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
As from the network layout above an issue arises. Newly plugged in IP phones do not have any Vlan configuration and will acquire an IP address in the Data Network as it is untagged. Due to the simplest form to provision an IP device will be\u00a0using PnP provisioning, which is limited to devices within the same subnet as 3CX, the IP phone must be instructed to automatically switch into the\u00a0\u201cVoice Network\u201d<\/b>\u00a0in order to send its\u00a0\u201cMulticast\u201d<\/b>\u00a0which then can be intercepted by 3CX for provisioning.<\/span><\/p>\nDHCP Option 132<\/span><\/h3>\nNote<\/span>: LLDP on switch level must be disabled to function correctly!<\/span><\/p>\nWithin your DHCP server create a new DHCP option, Option 132. In this enter the Vlan ID (55 to match the sample given) a device should assume once it understands this option (Workstations commonly don’t read this value and will not be affected by the change). IP phones will get an IP address from the Data Network, evaluate DHCP Option 132, release the IP address, change to Vlan ID configured in the DHCP option 132 and will request another IP address from the DHCP server on Vlan 55.<\/span><\/p>\nOnce completed, the IP phone will send it multicast which can be answered from the 3CX Management console.<\/span><\/p>\nLAN\/WAN Port<\/span><\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/hh2UPWjzre8njbuNNthcT0hl6t-7qiMS37lF4syzGd2FuYN7vcwIkDIR5hH5z8BM5XOtcGtDBZIaMjzi1jEIRL_htrfgOqorRekSpsVkrRCAA6KS-MNwFo11TLoXKbl8xg\" "\\"IP")
From the phone provisioning tab of the IP phone, the Vlan port can now be hard coded to match the Vlan ID given out by the DHCP option 132.<\/span><\/p>\nBenefit of setting the same values via Provisioning then in the DHCP option are:<\/span><\/p>\n– The device does not fakely takes an IP address from the data network to learn the Vlan ID<\/span><\/p>\n– DHCP option 132 become unrespected from the IP phone<\/span><\/p>\nPriority (802.1p)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe Priority option is enabled on VLAN activation. The priority field can take a value between 0 – 7. The priority value determines how the packet is going to be handled on the network level by the participating network nodes. Note that this value is immediately connected to the network configuration, network infrastructure and network topology therefore any changes may have the opposite results that may lead to audio corruption and even call instability. 1 = low priority, 6 = high priority. 7 should generally not be used as it is for emergency service.<\/span><\/p>\nAn IP phone should always have a higher priority over the data network as real time traffic is handled.<\/span><\/p>\nPC Port (Optional)<\/span><\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/c4seeywEykQL3MnoM8NtJ2vgQdcVcfMl5la4zI_Nqc83OP-lKZBMWXkGVphk-IfQriiKwJBdzLXDDbnnMavOuvDGhiCPdcJj4sBXYzCGWh0j6GUtJ-6QnOrDbhRROU9Z2A\" "\\"IP")

Not setting the PC port VLAN tag within 3CX, will trigger the PC port to follow the default\/untagged network, which is connected through the WAN\/LAN port (Data Network). It should not be confused with\u00a0\u201cDisabling\u201d<\/b>\u00a0the port. Not configuring it in 3CX will not shutdown the port for access!<\/span><\/p>\nIn some network, the workstation behind the IP phone should be moved (tagged) in a different Vlan than the default. In this case the PC also need to be tagged and will rely solely on the IP phone configuration in order to determine in which network its data will be send (as it it will be tagged by the IP phones switch port). A sample network might look like:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Boarding Network 10.10.10.0 \/ 24<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

Golden Rule: The most common deployment among installations is the following:<\/span><\/p>\n The above requires the IP Phone to be configured in the Voice network, therefore a VLAN tag is required and the workstation in the Data Network without any VLAN tag. For this example we will use the following topology:<\/span><\/p>\n As from the network layout above an issue arises. Newly plugged in IP phones do not have any Vlan configuration and will acquire an IP address in the Data Network as it is untagged. Due to the simplest form to provision an IP device will be\u00a0using PnP provisioning, which is limited to devices within the same subnet as 3CX, the IP phone must be instructed to automatically switch into the\u00a0\u201cVoice Network\u201d<\/b>\u00a0in order to send its\u00a0\u201cMulticast\u201d<\/b>\u00a0which then can be intercepted by 3CX for provisioning.<\/span><\/p>\n Note<\/span>: LLDP on switch level must be disabled to function correctly!<\/span><\/p>\n Within your DHCP server create a new DHCP option, Option 132. In this enter the Vlan ID (55 to match the sample given) a device should assume once it understands this option (Workstations commonly don’t read this value and will not be affected by the change). IP phones will get an IP address from the Data Network, evaluate DHCP Option 132, release the IP address, change to Vlan ID configured in the DHCP option 132 and will request another IP address from the DHCP server on Vlan 55.<\/span><\/p>\n Once completed, the IP phone will send it multicast which can be answered from the 3CX Management console.<\/span><\/p>\n Benefit of setting the same values via Provisioning then in the DHCP option are:<\/span><\/p>\n – The device does not fakely takes an IP address from the data network to learn the Vlan ID<\/span><\/p>\n – DHCP option 132 become unrespected from the IP phone<\/span><\/p>\n Priority (802.1p)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Priority option is enabled on VLAN activation. The priority field can take a value between 0 – 7. The priority value determines how the packet is going to be handled on the network level by the participating network nodes. Note that this value is immediately connected to the network configuration, network infrastructure and network topology therefore any changes may have the opposite results that may lead to audio corruption and even call instability. 1 = low priority, 6 = high priority. 7 should generally not be used as it is for emergency service.<\/span><\/p>\n An IP phone should always have a higher priority over the data network as real time traffic is handled.<\/span><\/p>\n Not setting the PC port VLAN tag within 3CX, will trigger the PC port to follow the default\/untagged network, which is connected through the WAN\/LAN port (Data Network). It should not be confused with\u00a0\u201cDisabling\u201d<\/b>\u00a0the port. Not configuring it in 3CX will not shutdown the port for access!<\/span><\/p>\n In some network, the workstation behind the IP phone should be moved (tagged) in a different Vlan than the default. In this case the PC also need to be tagged and will rely solely on the IP phone configuration in order to determine in which network its data will be send (as it it will be tagged by the IP phones switch port).
