Introduction
The configs below are for two Cisco 2611s to communicate via VoIP with Point−to−Point Protocol (PPP)
over a low bandwidth leased line and with IP Precedence. Click on the links in the configurations below to
access conceptual information about VoIP commands.
It is important to note that in the topology below the two routers are connected back−to−back over a leased
line. In most topologies, however, the voice enabled routers can exist anywhere. Usually, the voice routers are
connected via LAN connectivity to other routers that are connected to the WAN. This is important to note
because if your voice routers are not connected with PPP over a leased line, all WAN connectivity
configuration commands will be configured on those routers that are connected to the WAN, and not on the
voice routers, as they are in the configurations listed below.
While we use Cisco 2611s in this configuration example, these configurations can be used for Cisco 3640 and
5300 series routers also.
Note: The four port Cisco 5300 series voice ports do not support a data connection to a WAN. You will need
to use your Cisco 5300s as intermediate LAN routers, with other routers acting as direct connections to the
WAN.
Using IP Precedence
When using Multilink PPP, the ip precedence command causes data packet fragmenting. This is to minimize
voice packet delay. Setting the precedence bit in an IP header gives priority to the voice packets over data
frames or data packets.
Multilink PPP with interleave provides:
1. Packet fragmentation
2. Interleaving of real time frames within fragmented data frames through the PPP interleave
3. A guaranteed maximum delay that reduces the chances of voice packet delay
If you try to run VoIP with PPP over a low bandwidth leased line, you run the risk of encountering massive
latency and jitter due to large data packets that seize the leased line, "freezing out" all other traffic until these
large packets are sent across. This is where the concept of packet fragmentation comes into play. Real−time
frames can then be interleaved among the fragmented data frames.
The ip precedence command causes a router to set the precedence bit in an IP header, which works in
conjunction with Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ), so voice frames have priority over data fragments and data
frames. When packets arrive in a router's output queue, the voice packets will be placed on the wire before
data frames.
Note: In the configs below, when you configure the ip rtp header−compression iphc−format command, the
router by default will add the ip tcp header−compression iphc−format command to your config.
Before You Begin

Before you can configure a Cisco router to use VoIP, it is best if you understand the concepts of Quality of
Service (QOS) features in Cisco IOS software. To learn more about QOS features, please see Queuing, Traffic
Shaping, and Filtering and QoS Signaling from the Cisco IOS Quality of Service page on CCO.
