IEEE 802.1p/Q
The phone will tag all Ethernet packets it transmits with an 802.1Q VLAN
header for one of the following reasons:
• When it has a valid VLAN ID set in its network configuration
• When it is instructed to tag packets through Cisco Discovery Protocol
(CDP) running on a connected Ethernet switch
• When a VLAN ID is obtained from DHCP (refer to DHCP Menu on page
3-7)
The 802.1p/Q user_priority field can be set to a value from 0 to 7. The
user_priority can be configured specifically for RTP packets and call control
packets, such as SIP signaling packets, with default settings configurable for
all other packets.
Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server or locally:
Voice Quality Monitoring
The SoundPoint IP phones can be configured to generate various quality
metrics for listening and conversational quality. These metrics can be sent
between the phones in RTCP XR packets. The metrics can also be downloaded
in SIP messages to a central voice quality report collector. The collection of
these metrics is supported on the SoundPoint IP 330/320, 430, 501, 550, 560,
600, 601, and 650 and the SoundStation IP 4000.
