Hi Guys,

In fact I have a simple setup but i'm not too familiar with Aruba switches.

My setup:

I have 2 VLANS Voice & Data

My configs:

vlan 5
name voice
voice
tagged 1

vlan 10
name data
untagged 1

How can I prioritize the voice traffic ?

Thank

Hi,

You can do with the below

Syntax: vlan <vid> qos priority <0-7>

Example:

switch(config)# vlan 10 qos priority 4

The qos priority default setting is 0 (normal), with 1 as the lowest priority and 7 as the highest priority.

Please refer to Advanced Traffic Management Guide for ArubaOS-Switch : https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00091305en_us for more detailed explanation.

Hope it helps.

Using the voice command in the vlan already enables some qos and enables LLDP-MED.

You can fine-tune it using manual commands, but in my experience, in a "normal" office environment, it is not needed.

But then again I don't know your environment...

Use a voice vlan and use tagged vlans to your phones. The DHCP values pre-configured on your phones will be honored by the switch interface.

Note that QOS need be set end-to-end, so from phone, on all interconnect switches, firewalls to the VOIP server. But for my understanding a voice vlan take care on that.
