Table 1-4 How a packet is handled when the voice VLAN is operating in different modes 
Voice VLAN Mode  Packet Type  Processing Method 
Untagged packet 
Packet carrying the voice VLAN 
tag 
If the source MAC address of 
the packet matches the OUI 
list, the packet is transmitted in 
the voice VLAN. Otherwise, the 
packet is dropped. 
Security 
Packet carrying any other 
VLAN tag 
The packet is forwarded or 
dropped based on whether the 
receiving port is assigned to the 
carried VLAN. The processing 
method is irrelevant to the voice 
VLAN mode (security or 
normal).  
Untagged packet
 
Packet carrying the voice VLAN 
tag 
The source MAC address of the 
packet is not checked. All such 
packets can be transmitted in 
the voice VLAN.
 
Normal
 
Packet carrying any other 
VLAN tag
 
The packet is forwarded or 
dropped based on whether the 
port is assigned to the carried 
VLAN. The processing method 
is irrelevant to the voice VLAN 
mode (security or normal).
