Suggested configurations for AVoIP protocols on Omada Switches
8549 Contents
This article introduces how to configure through Omada Controller for configurations adapting several AVoIP protocols on Omada switches including AES67, Dante and Q-SYS, enhancing the experiment during network congestion.
- Omada Smart, L2+ and L3 Switches
- Omada Controller (Software Controller / Hardware Controller / Cloud Based Controller, V5.9 and above)
When using AVoIP protocols like AES67, Dante and Q-SYS, configuring QoS on network switches is essential to ensure that audio and video streams maintain high performance and reliability, even during network congestion. QoS prioritizes critical AVoIP traffic over less important data, preventing packet loss, jitter and latency issues that can degrade the quality of the AVoIP experience. By properly setting up QoS, you can guarantee that your AVoIP systems operate smoothly and deliver consistent, high-quality performance, even under heavy network loads.
Usually there will be a few switches connected to the AVoIP source, and then connects to some PCs and speakers. The configurations we recommend in this article will help improve the performance of these devices, preventing the lags of audio and video when network congestion happens.
Different AVoIP protocols have their own QoS setup, so we recommend setting the QoS on the switch according to the protocol you are using. On Omada controller, the QoS settings needs to be set through CLI template, not on GUI. Next we will introduce the detailed configuration.
When creating the VLAN for these AVoIP protocols, please enable IGMP snooping for it, go to Settings > Wired Networks > LAN, click Create New LAN to create a new VLAN for the use of AV protocols.
When creating this VLAN, please click the Enable box to enable IGMP Snooping and MLD Snooping.
After that, we need to configure drop unknown groups and fast leave for IGMP snooping as well as the QoS settings, which needs using CLI template to send commands to the switch. For how to use CLI template in Omada controller, please refer to the FAQ: CLI Configuration Guide for Omada SDN Controller (v5.9.9 and above). Next, we will briefly introduce what the commands need to do and list the example commands.
AES67 uses DSCP priority 34, 46 and 56, and they needed to be mapped to 4, 5 and 6 802.1p priority respectively, and for the TC-5 queue, its scheduler mode should be SP.
