  • 1.  Can't get Voice Network to work in the portal

    Posted 03-18-2025 06:10 AM

    I have a 1930 switch.  I have 1 wired network (Main) which is of type "Management" assigned as VLAN1, and 2 wireless networks  (Internal and Guest).  I am adding 2 Yealink W70B VoIP phones to my network and want them on a dedicated Voice Network so they have priority in cases where bandwidth may become an issue.

    In the portal, I added a wired network called VoIP, selected Voice for network usage, and assigned it VLAN 10.  IGMP Snooping is checked and DHCP and ARP Protections is unchecked.  That worked  fine.  When I plugged my phones in they were recognized by the 1930 as a Voice client and assigned it to the VoIP VLAN, again, good.

    The problem is the phones do not connect to the internet and cannot be reached.  If I disable the VoIP network and assign the ports back to VLAN1 (my main wired network), then the phones connect and work perfectly.

    I am sure I am doing something wrong.  Can someone please help me configure the Voice Network via the Portal so that it works the way it should?

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    This may be a stupid question does your Voice network have a DHCP server & internet gateway on the subnet?

     

    BTW VoIP bandwidth needs are very modest,  for 2 devices I really would not worry about bandwidth issues unless your Vlan 1 has extremely high utilization. 

     

    I usually start thinking about voice vlans at about 10+ devices; but regularly see SMB businesses with 20 to 40 desktops where the VoIP vendor just came in and dropped handsets and they never had a problem.  Internet saturation is more likely to be an issues than internal bandwidth.
