Voice VLAN
In a LAN, voice devices, such as IP phones, VoIP endpoints, and voice systems are 
placed into the same VLAN.   This VLAN is referred as the voice VLAN.    If the 
voice devices are in different voice VLANs, IP (Layer 3) routers are needed to 
provide communication.

The following are typical voice deployment scenarios with appropriate 
configurations:
• UC3xx/UC5xx hosted: All Cisco phones and VoIP endpoints support this 
deployment model. For this model, the UC3xx/UC5xx, Cisco phones and 
VoIP endpoints reside in the same voice VLAN. The voice VLAN of UC3xx/
UC5xx defaults to VLAN 100.
• Third-party IP PBX-hosted: Cisco SBTG CP-79xx, SPA5xx phones and 
SPA8800 endpoints support this deployment model. In this model, the 
VLAN used by the phones is determined by the network configuration.
