VLAN settings define the Ethernet frame priority and VLAN identification in accordance with
IEEE 802.1p/Q standards. Separate VLAN tags are assigned for the LIP-6812/LIP-6830 PC
port and the LAN (voice) port. When the VLAN id is assigned, only frames with the assigned ID
are accepted and all voice frames sent by the LIP-6812/LIP-6830 include the VLAN ID assigned
to the LAN port.
For proper operation, other network elements (LAN switches and Default Gateway)
must support and be configured with proper the VLAN parameters.
VLAN settngs can not be changed if CDP is enabled.
Changing VLAN parameters requires a reboot of the LIP-6812/LIP-6830; when you
leave the menu, you will receive a Reboot notice.

The VLAN Priority (LAN) establishes the priority for Ethernet frames from the LIP-6812/LIP-
