Network 3.1 - VLAN switch, integrated EdgeMarc
EdgeMarc model supported
• 4300T
• 4500E, 4500T4
Topology Characteristics
• EdgeMarc provides ALG functionality to phones
• EdgeMarc provides NAT, Firewall, Traffic Shaping, and DHCP to PCs and phones
• Phones and PCs have separate subnets, each assigned by DHCP
• EdgeMarc is SIP Proxy to phones
• VLAN switch provides 802.1 (standard Ethernet) and 802.1q (VLAN tagged Ethernet) frames to phones
and PCs, as appropriate
• The EdgeMarc-to-Switch link is a “trunk” (ie 802.1q) link
• WAN interface is provided a public (un-NATed) IP address
• EdgeMarc LAN interface uses three VLANs
• One VLAN for management of the Switch. None of the end-user devices join this VLAN.
• One VLAN for voice traffic to phones. For phones that support VLANs, the switch ports use 802.1q
frames for this VLAN.
• One VLAN for data to PCs. This VLAN uses standard 802.1 frames, since few PC NICs support tagged
packets.
