Configuring FortiFone manual VLAN

The following example shows how to create a manual VLAN port trunk configuration, that is specific to manual-VLANs. A gate trunk is configured to connect FortiSwitch to FortiGate. This connection allows VLAN Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP ) traffic between the two devices, and enables VLAN IP addresses to be received from the VLAN DHCP server on FortiGate. Manual trunks are also configured to support multiple VLAN tags.

The key advantage of having a manually configured VLAN over one that uses LLDP is that voice traffic can be prioritized over PC data traffic. The logical VLAN interfaces, each assigned a VLAN ID, can be used to separate more business-critical traffic from less-critical traffic. These interfaces are then referenced in phone system profiles. Note that VLAN tagging must be enabled to segregate the FortiFone voice network and PC data network.

Prior to starting the procedures in this section, make sure to complete the following tasks from Configuring FortiFone VLAN using LLDP and FortiGate:

• Configure a VLAN on FortiSwitch
• Create and configure interfaces for voice and data VLANs
