Hosted Voice/VOIP

[Senbonzakura]

When dealing with Hosted Voice and VOIP phones connected to your Switches and Firewalls, what are some settings you'd recommend for an ideal environment? For example, what I notice the most is boradcast storm level 10 along with being attached to vlans. Is there any type of setting these VLANS should have, also should the phones have Portfast Edge configured on their ports as well? Give you me your full thoughts.

Port fast feature is autonomously enable when you configure a voice vlan. As for the storm-control feature configuration, if your interfaces are gig to the phones, level 1.00 should be sufficient.

storm-control broadcast include multicast
storm-control broadcast level 1.00

Thank you for doing that, is there anything else you'd recommend?

And put the phones in a separate vlan/subnet. That is all I can think of.

Good Luck!
