i need an entire network segment for microsoft teams calls

VoIP transmits using data packets instead of physical transmission lines, which means that bandwidth and latency are essential for VoIP applications. The network cannot afford to lose or drop any data packets for these sessions. This is why oftentimes larger enterprise networks have a special vLAN for voice traffic.

Modern switches come with the capability to make a voice or auxiliary vLAN to distinguish normal host traffic and VoIP traffic without vLAN trunk configuration.

• interface GigabitEthernet0/0
• switchport mode access
• switchport access vlan 100 (Assign normal host traffic to vLAN 100)
• switchport voice vlan 101 (assign VoIP)
