VoIP VLAN Routing

Good Afternoon,

We currently have an MPLS working across 3 sites we would like to create a separate VLAN just for VoIP that allows it to communicate over the MPLS with the VoIP servers instead of the Open Internet. We already created the VLANs at each site how do we route it back to the VoIP servers static rotues ?

Thanks.

The tool you pick depends on the design criteria. It sounds like you want to keep the voice traffic separate from other production IP traffic. If this is the case you will want to put the VLAN into a VRF on your MPLS network.

I assume you control all routing at the three sites and via the connections between them. If your MPLS network is a carrier solution the link above may not answer you question.

You can just as easily not use VRFs and just announce your voice vlan into your regular routing protocols. This won’t give any separation of the traffic but it should flow just fine.

We added some VRF’s and it worked !
