We just deployed an Avaya IP office system too. I cannot confirm or deny
whether it is necessary but we went with a seperate vlan per building for
voip. For us this means way less than a /24 per building. Although that
is how we setup our subnets. We have NAC and we assign a Phones policy
with a cos of 6 I believe. No problems. Are you routing at the edge? How
so you assign Cos?

I am wondering if anyone else who is running a Avaya IP Phones on their
network have limited their voice vlan size? We are experiencing jitter on
our phones and the CoS configuration on the network side looks fine. I am
being told by a telecom vendor that the Avaya phones should reside on a
subnet no larger than a /24. Can anyone else confirm or deny this?

Is the server on that same VLAN, i.e. do you have to route to get to the
server? Are you do you have an S series core? Have you put a port in that
VLAN and run wireshark see if there are any traffic anomalies? Have you
done a port mirror on a phone to verify that to COS is being set? How
frequantly do you see the issue? What tools do you have for monitoring?
We found a MIB for non-unicast traffic that has helped us track down a
source for broadcast packets in the past. We ended up applying a limit per
port for broadcasts to stabilize our network.
Sorry for so many questions. Feel free to call if you want to talk off
line. I'm very curious.

Hi Patrick,
Here are some of my thoughts for what they’re worth. J Let me know if they
help.
I am wondering if anyone else who is running a Avaya IP Phones on their
network have limited their voice vlan size? I am being told by a telecom
vendor that the Avaya phones should reside on a subnet no larger than a
/24. Can anyone else confirm or deny this?
I managed an enterprise Avaya phone system at Hudson Valley Community
College for 4 years, 2008-2012. I believe the recommendation behind smaller
subnets is truly best practice going back a ways for broadcast issues in
the past. This is still true today as devices have to process every
broadcast. I would still try and keep subnet sizes to /24 or as close as
you can get to it that makes sense for your network topology. I used /24
and /23 subnets – by: geographical location, building by building, floor by
floor, port counts needed for each area. Having a separate VLAN for just
VOIP is also recommended by Avaya.
We are experiencing jitter on our phones and the CoS configuration on the
network side looks fine.
Two things here –
· Since your routed, are you assigning QoS?
CoS operates only on 802.1Q VLAN Ethernet at the data link layer (layer 2),
while other QoS mechanisms (such as
DiffServ<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DiffServ>,
also known as DSCP) operate at the IP network layer (layer 3)
· Jitter issues are usually due to either slow or heavily congested
links. I would try to find out what link/s may be causing the issue; try
and upgrade the bandwidth where necessary.
In summary, I think if you have CoS and QoS configured properly; you
address the congested link/s, you’ll solve the problem.

Questions can lead to answers; it's all good.
The servers are on the same vlan. S4 core. We did a wireshark trace and
the traffic had no anomalies that I am aware of. The vendor checked it as
well and said there were none. CoS has been confirmed via a wireshark on a
mirrored IP phone port. We use Cacti and NMS for monitoring our gear.
How did you apply the broadcast limit? Via policy?

Hi Patrick,
I assume Rob is saying he used a separate Voice VLAN in each area (mapped
to each /24 bit subnet) - not that he had a single Voice VLAN across the
entire campus..
Back to the original problem statement - sometimes it's helpful on these
VoIP issues to try to narrow down the problem area.
Are you seeing jitter on all phones or only some phones?
On the phones seeing jitter, is it on all calls or only some calls?
Are you seeing jitter on internal calls and external calls?
Are you seeing jitter on calls between two phones within the same
VLAN/subnet?
Thanks!

Typically I see one VLAN ID (VID) per subnet. For troubleshooting purposes
some use a piece of the network address for the VID. However, the same VID
can be used for all subnets if they are separated by layer 3 segments and
not on the same switch.

network have limited their voice vlan size? I am being told by a telecom
vendor that the Avaya phones should reside on a subnet no larger than a
/24. Can anyone else confirm or deny this?
I managed an enterprise Avaya phone system at Hudson Valley Community
College for 4 years, 2008-2012. I believe the recommendation behind smaller
subnets is truly best practice going back a ways for broadcast issues in
the past. This is still true today as devices have to process every
broadcast. I would still try and keep subnet sizes to /24 or as close as
you can get to it that makes sense for your network topology. I used /24
and /23 subnets – by: geographical location, building by building, floor by
floor, port counts needed for each area. Having a separate VLAN for just
VOIP is also recommended by Avaya.
We are experiencing jitter on our phones and the CoS configuration on the
network side looks fine.
Two things here –
· Since your routed, are you assigning QoS?
CoS operates only on 802.1Q VLAN Ethernet at the data link layer (layer 2),
while other QoS mechanisms (such as
DiffServ<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DiffServ>,
also known as DSCP) operate at the IP network layer (layer 3)
· Jitter issues are usually due to either slow or heavily congested
links. I would try to find out what link/s may be causing the issue; try
and upgrade the bandwidth where necessary.
In summary, I think if you have CoS and QoS configured properly; you
address the congested link/s, you’ll solve the problem.

No routing at the edge currently. The phones Mac auth and get the proper
role, which assigns the vlan and CoS.

We just deployed an Avaya IP office system too. I cannot confirm or deny
whether it is necessary but we went with a seperate vlan per building for
voip. For us this means way less than a /24 per building. Although that
is how we setup our subnets. We have NAC and we assign a Phones policy
with a cos of 6 I believe. No problems. Are you routing at the edge? How
so you assign Cos?

That is what I thought, just was making sure.
Honestly, that is just a PITA. I know it is how it is, but I would think
that after so many years of networks existing that we would be in a better
situation. Very frustrating.

Typically I see one VLAN ID (VID) per subnet. For troubleshooting purposes
some use a piece of the network address for the VID. However, the same VID
can be used for all subnets if they are separated by layer 3 segments and
not on the same switch.

So you are saying just 1 voice vlan with multiple subnets? Because I was
told each subnet needed its own VLAN.

Hi Patrick,
Here are some of my thoughts for what they're worth. :) Let me know if
they help.
I am wondering if anyone else who is running a Avaya IP Phones on their
network have limited their voice vlan size? I am being told by a telecom
vendor that the Avaya phones should reside on a subnet no larger than a
/24. Can anyone else confirm or deny this?
