Powerconnect N2000 series - Configure Voice and Data VLAN on same interface
Hello Experts,
I need to configure a large number of Dell Powerconnect N2048P switches. We have:
Voice VLAN 20
Data VLAN 30
1.) We need to configure voice and data VLANs on the same interface. So, interface fa0/1 will have a VOIP phone connected and accessing VLAN 20, with a computer daisy chained off the IP phone accessing VLAN 30.
Normally I would use something along the lines of:
interface fa0/1
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 30
switchport voice vlan 20
Is this the same concept on the Powerconnect N series switches? Or would I configure the interface as a trunk with a native VLAN of the Data VLAN maybe?
2.) Also, what would be the commands on this N series switch to declare VLAN 20 as the voice vlan?
3.) Also I am looking to enable QOS on the switches, what would be the proper method for this?
Thanks in advance!

It sounds like this "deployment guide" paper is a good match for what you are doing....
"Quality of Service for Voice on Dell Networking N-Series Switches" en.community.dell.com/.../20439292
It contains the same scenario as you described along with the required commands to configure. QoS is also covered.

Here is the best list I've seen of all N-Series guides as well that includes the one above...

Thanks All!
I understand how to use the general mode and tag VOIP traffic now. I read through the guide mentioned above and I have some questions about configuring QOS. It says "The default setting of N-Series switches is to trust the dot1p markings of incoming traffic" but in order to enable DSCP I have to run a command. How do I know if my phones use dot1p or DSCP? I am new to QOS so any help is appreciated. Thanks again!
