Configuring Telephony OUI

VoIP devices attached to the switch can be identified by the vendor’s Organizational Unique

Identifier (OUI) in the source MAC address of received packets. OUI numbers are assigned to

vendors and form the first three octets of device MAC addresses. The MAC OUI numbers for VoIP

equipment can be configured on the switch so that traffic from these devices is recognized as VoIP.

Use the Traffic > VoIP (Configure OUI) page to configure this feature.
