Configure Cisco VoIP: Step-by-Step Guide

Voice over IP (VoIP, or voice over Internet Protocol) is communication protocols, involved in the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks. various terms commonly used with VoIP are IP telephony,Internet telephony, voice over broadband (VoBB), broadband telephony, IP communications, and broadband phone.

Let us apply it on packet tracer.

Phone is displayed below. And when we try to go to any other mode its give us error and ask us to switch it on first.

For that, go to Physical mode and put the power adapter (in the bottom right corner) into the phone as shown in figure.

Now, we have inserted the antenna into IP phone. Repeat it for other phones as well.

Now, we see that interface of IP phone is UP.

Now, go to router and assign IP address.

We will have to set DHCP server on router to assign IP addresses to IP phones.

We will have to give an additional command for voip.

Router(dhcp-config)#option 150 ip 192.168.1.1

Now, let us apply commands to the router for voip. You might have noticed we took 2811 series router because it facilitates the following commands.

Continued.

Now, we will go to the switch and make the interfaces support voip as follows.

After that, we will have to assign phone number to our IP phone by applying following commands

Continued…

Now, we can see that in GUI mode of Phone, we have a phone number available.

This means that we can call from one phone to the other. Lets do that.

And when we pick up the reciever, it says that we are connected 🙂 .
