How to make a vlan on an HP switch to talk to a cisco Vlan

Hi we have a cisco Call manager phone system, and our network traffic is split into 2 vlans vlan10 for data and vlan 20 for voice

We have a couple POE HPs that we have some new desks running on. What I am not sure how to do is how do I

1 Create the vlans on the HP to work with the Vlans on the cisco switches
2 what else i need to worry about

Any help will be great

The HP Switches are the HP 3800 48port POE switches
The Cisco switches are the catalyst 2970

Thanks in advance

All you need to do on the HP is define the vlan for voice, mark it as a voice vlan, and tag it on all ports that will have phones and the connection to the Cisco switch. Also, all the Cisco phones need to support LLDP in order to auto configure the voice vlan. If they don't support LLDP, each phone will need to have the voice vlan statically assigned.

so once I create the vlan per the directions
Can all ports handle both vlan traffic or is it one of the other?

I don't know what you mean? You need to tag/untagged all ports you want to be able to handle the vlans? Though you can have as many tagged vlans you want on one port there may only be one untagged as with any switch.

Just making sure things work right

So basically on our Ciscos with the vlan for the phones the port goes to a phone then the computer

The computer gets lets say 192.168.1.1 ip address the phone gets 192.168.2.1 does tagging allow both vlans to work the same way on the HP?
