[cisco-voip] HP switches for VoIP (specifically QoS and multicast routing)

[Voice Noob]

I can confirm that the LLDP-MED does work for putting the phone in the
correct Voice Vlan. The problem is that the Firmware that ships with the
phones does not support LLDP-MED so you have to put the TFTP option in the
data DHCP scope to allow the phones to connect to Call Manager the first
time and download the latest firmware. Then when they restart they will be
in the correct VLAN. 

 

I have an HP switch under my desk and plan on testing the QOS settings this
week. If interested I can post the results back to everyone.

I have looked into using HP switches and came close, but have never actually
done it...

 

My understanding with the voice vlan is that only Cisco switches support CDP
for setting the voice vlan. (That's what the "C" stands for.) However, the
newish versions of the phone firmware are able to get the voice vlan setting
from LLDP-MED, which HP and other non-Cisco switches do support.

Hi guys,

 

Has anyone had any experience using HP switching infrastructure?
Specifically how to configure QoS to trust Cisco phones marking DSCP and COS
values.

 

Can they also be configured to support multicast routing? And if so, can
they be configured to join a RP-address on a Cisco voice gateway?

 

I've also heard that some HP switches do not support Cisco proprietary CDP
and you have to manually assign each phones voice vlan? Is there a way of
automating this process or is it a hand-on approach to each phone?

 

Configuration guides and templates would be great thanks.

 

Thanks all in advance.

 

Cheers

Dana
