Hi,
I'm trying to configure some Quality Of Service among an Asterisk
server
with RedHat3 and some IP phones on my LAN.
I read about 802.1p (level 2) QoS, using 3 bits of VLAN tag.
Two questions:
- do I need to use tagged links (trunks) end-to-end? In other
words, do all
ports on all switches from phones to server need to be configured as
'tagged'?
If you wish to use tagging, then yes all ports would have to support
it for all devices which are using it. Although in your case it
sounds fairly simple setup, I would suggest just setting your server
and voice ports to high priority in your switch and leave it at that.
Not understanding all the ins and outs of tagging may cause more
problems than you have now. Most switches with management that
support vlans will also support port based priority.
- how can I configure ethernet card on the Red Hat server
(Broadcom, tg3
driver) to support tagged traffic and to mark outgoing packets with
priority
6?
Use port based priority and dont worry about it:)
Thanks in advance for any help
