We're going to have our 3300 installed next week. It's replacing a hosted VoIP phone system by Broadview "We Don't Need No Stinkin' Uptime" Networks. Currently, the phones are plugged into ports which are placed statically in a phones vlan, rendering the passthrough port unsuable.
Our switches support LLDP but there's little documentation for the implementation (D-Link DGS-3650s). So I think we're going to have to go another route for our VLAN configuration.
I'm having troubles getting our installers to help me understand how this can be done. Basically there's a Windows 2003 DHCP server on the data VLAN, with a VID of 10. I'm assuming the 3300 will provide DHCP services for the voice vlan, whose VID is 20. I would like to have the phones automatically assigned to the voice vlan when they boot. But I'm not at all sure how this would work without having LLDP-MED configured. I've read where other folks have done it, so it must be possible, but I have yet to see this equipment so I haven't put my hands on it.
Can someone give me a quick walk through on how this would work?
Thanks,
Steve
