VLAN
Setting up VLAN from the PBX
This guide requires a managed switch and knowledge of how to set up VLANs on it, which is outside of the scope of this guide. This is only to show how to set up VLAN on the pbx, and enable it for all phones. This requires your PBX to be on software version 5.1.5-5 or higher. All network switch ports that will have a phone on it should have its port tagged for the appropriate vlan.
- Define the VLAN under System=>VLAN. It must be enabled.
- Set VLAN IP Address to the IP address that you would like to give the PBX on that vlan, which will also hand out DHCP on the vlan to the phones
- Set the VLAN Subnet mask to define the network just as you would on standard network settings. 255.255.255.0 is generally going to suffice.
- Set the VID to the actual VLAN ID tag. This must match the VLAN in the switch that you are assigning the ports to.
- Set DHCP Start and End addresses as desired
- Save
- Navigate to PBX Setup=Phone Global
- Set Apply VLAN Config to Phones to Enabled
- Set Phone VLAN Enable to Enabled
- Set Phone VID to match VID from step 4 above
- If needed, set PC VLAN settings according to network.
- Save
- Apply changes
- Reboot phones. They should pick up vlan config and be on the vlan network correctly.
This process replaces the need to set vlan in the phone global template. Using the phone global template to assign vlan is no longer necessary as of 5.1.5-5
