VLAN question - SG300 switch - 2 separate networks.

[undeliverable]

Newbie question here. Can anyone advise please ?

We have 2 separate networks here, 1 for data (192.168.0.x) and 1 for VOIP phones (192.168.3.x).

I need them to both be connected to different ports on a switch (Cisco SG 300 10 port managed switch) which is then linked to another switch (Cisco Catalyst 2960 48 port switch). Then on this 2960 switch I want the link to be split back into the 2 separate networks.

How is this done ? I think that I need to create 2 separate VLANs and assign them to different ports.

Hello,

You do need to create two separate VLANs - one for voice and one for data.

You also need to create a trunk port on the SG 300 and 2960 ports that connect to each other.  On the 2960, use access ports to split the networks back out into data and voice.

Regards,

T.

Thanks for the info. It has been suggested to me that I don't need to create a second VLAN. Just tag some of the ports with a 'voice' tag and if a device is connected to one of those ports it will know it is not on the default VLAN. Is this a better way to handle the 2 networks ?
