VLAN & Subnetting solution

Hello everyone, I'm wondering what's the best way to manage & separate devices on a large network? I'll try to explain what I'd like to do:


-I'd like to have 3 vlans on 3 different subnets (separate the broadcast domain), let's call them vlan 1 (192.168.1.0/24), 2 (192.168.2.0/24) and 3 (192.168.3.0/24). They will be used for data devices (pc, printers), voip phones and ip cameras, respectively.

-I'd like to have the possibility to move the devices around (all devices will have static IP), plug them to any ports on the edge switch in the IDF and the switch will automatically tag/route the traffic from that device to the appropriate vlan based on the type of the traffic (3 types here: data, voip, ip video stream). This mean port based VLAN will not work for me, as far as I know.

-Edge switches inside IDF cabinets will communicate with core switch in MDF via a single trunk link. So we have 3 VLAN traffic going through a single port (trunk port, I assume?)


So the question is: Is it possible to do what I want to do? MAC based, IP based vlan?

That is commonly accomplished with LLDP assigning VLAN by device type or VLAN assignment via OUI (first 6 digits of the MAC). Do you already have existing switches? If so, what are they?

Forgot to mention, the switch is dell powerconnect 3448p (old but got it for cheap so no complain ).

Well... Unfortunately the switch that you have will not support any common method of what you are asking for in your OP.
