VoIPVoice Over Internet Protocol

Benefits of Packet Telephony Networks

• More efficient use of bandwidth and equipment

• Lower transmission costs

• Consolidated network expenses

• Improved employee productivity through features provided by IP telephony:

– IP phones are complete business communication devices

• Directory lookups and database applications (XML)

• Integration of telephony into any business application

– Software-based and wireless phones offer mobility

• Access to new communications devices (such as, PDAs and cable set-top boxes)

Packet Telephony Components

Two Basic Methods for Voice over IP

Analog Interfaces

Describe Cisco VoIP Implementations

•Encapsulating Voice Packets for Transport

Voice Encapsulation Examples

• Digitized voice is encapsulated into RTP, UDP, and IP.

• By default, 20 ms of voice is packetized into a single IP packet.

IP Telephony

Auxiliary VLANs

Cisco IP Phone

• Voice traffic tagged for voice VLAN

Power over Ethernet

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

• Sending operating power over Ethernet Category 5 cable • Power-sourcing equipment (PSE)

– Switches, power injector• Powered devices

– IP phones, Access points

• Distances up to 100 meters• Alternative: AC power adapter

Midspan Power Injection

• Uses pairs 4,5 and 7,8

• Requires eight-wire cabling

• Does not extend 100-m total length limit

• Not possible for 1000TX

Power-Sourcing Equipment

•Power injector• AIR-PWRINJ3/AIR-PWRINJ-FIB

•Powering switch• Cisco Catalyst 3560-PS/3750-PS

• Cisco Catalyst 4500/6500 switch

with inline power line cards

• Router module NM-16ESW-PWR

• Router card HWIC-4ESW-POE

• Router with PoE support
