You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that is
off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch Using a Web
Browser on page 6.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’s password in the password field.
The switch’s default password is password.
The Switch Information page displays.
5. Select VLAN > 802.1Q > Advanced > Port PVID.
You can select Port PVID only if you already enabled the advanced 802.1Q VLAN option
(see Create 802.1Q-Based VLANs in an Advanced Configuration on page 30).
6. Select the check boxes for one or more ports.

Manage the Voice VLAN
You can select one VLAN as the voice VLAN, select the Class of Service (CoS) for voice
traffic, and enable or disable the voice VLAN for specific ports that carry traffic from IP

The voice VLAN feature can help ensure that the sound quality of an IP phone is
safeguarded from deteriorating when the data traffic on the port is high.
