z  An untagged packet carries no VLAN tag. 
z  A tagged packet carries the tag of a VLAN. 
 
To set an IP address and a voice VLAN for an IP phone manually, just make sure that the voice VLAN ID 
to be set is consistent with that of the switch and the NCP is reachable to the IP address to be set. 
How Switch 4200G Series Switches Identify Voice Traffic 
Switch 4200G series Ethernet switches determine whether a received packet is a voice packet by 
checking its source MAC address against an organizationally unique identifier (OUI) list. If a match is 
found, the packet is considered as a voice packet. Ports receiving packets of this type will be added to 
the voice VLAN automatically for transmitting voice data.  
You can configure OUI addresses for voice packets or specify to use the default OUI addresses. 
 
 
An OUI address is a globally unique identifier assigned to a vendor by IEEE. You can determine which 
vendor a device belongs to according to the OUI address which forms the first 24 bits of a MAC address. 
Switch 4200G series Ethernet switches support OUI address mask configuration. You can adjust the 
matching depth of MAC address by setting different OUI address masks. 
 
The following table lists the five default OUI addresses on Switch 4200G series switches. 
Table 1-1 Default OUI addresses pre-defined on the switch 
Number  OUI address  Vendor 
1 0003-6b00-0000 Cisco phones 
2  000f-e200-0000  H3C Aolynk phones 
3 00d0-1e00-0000 Pingtel phones 
4 00e0-7500-0000 Polycom phones 
5 00e0-bb00-0000 3Com phones 
 
Setting the Voice Traffic Transmission Priority 
In order to improve the transmission quality of voice traffic, the switch re-marks the precedence of the 
traffic in the voice VLAN as follows:  
z  Set the CoS (802.1p) precedence to 6.  
z  Set the DSCP precedence to 46.
