Network Configuration of the IP Phones
Configuring the IP Phones
Virtual LAN (optional)
Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a feature on the IP phone that allows for 
multiple logical Ethernet interfaces to send outgoing RTP packets over a single 
physical Ethernet as described in IEEE Std 802.3. On the IP phone, you configure 
a VLAN ID that associates with the physical Ethernet port.
By configuring specific VLAN parameters, the IP phones have the capability of 
adding and removing tags, and processing the ID and priority information 
contained within the tag.
VLAN on the IP phones is disabled by default.  When you enable VLAN, the IP 
phone provides defaults for all VLAN parameters. If you choose to change these 
parameters, you can configure them using the configuration files, the IP Phone UI, 
or the Aastra Web UI.
The following sections describe the VLAN features you can configure on the IP 
phones.
Note: 
All latest VLAN functionality is backwards compatible with IP 
Phone Releases 1.3 and 1.3.1.
