APPLICATION NOTE - Deploying IP Telephony with EX Series Ethernet Switches
However, in this case the interface is configured as a trunk that includes only the voice VLAN. In order to separate the
voice and data traffic, the trunk port will transmit and receive only tagged traffic on the trunk VLAN member list, which
in this case is the voip-only VLAN.
Since a typical endpoint host such as a desktop or laptop will send its packets untagged (which will subsequently be
relayed by the VoIP phone), the corresponding switch trunk port must be configured with the “native-vlan-id” option in
order to transmit and receive untagged traffic belonging to the native VLAN, which in this case is the data-only VLAN.
Otherwise, untagged packets sent from the endpoint host and relayed by the phone would be dropped on the switch
trunk port by default, since the packets are untagged.

Description and Deployment Scenario—Method 2: Separate Ports for
VoIP Phone and Endpoint Device
Figure 14: Separate ports for VoIP and endpoint device
In contrast to the shared switch-port configuration discussed earlier, VoIP phones (LLDP-MED-capable and non-
capable) and endpoint hosts can also occupy their own ports. This is not a typical IP telephony deployment in the
enterprise today, where cost reduction is a priority, but there are cases where endpoint devices would occupy their own
ports, mainly for management, troubleshooting and maintenance purposes.
Assigning Each Port as Access Port for Dierent VLAN
When attaching VoIP phones and endpoint devices to their own ports, one approach is to assign each port to different
VLANs, so that the port connected to the VoIP phone is configured for voice traffic and the port connected to the
endpoint host is configured for data traffic.
