VLAN sanity check (Meraki firewall to Netgear switch)

Hi all, first post here.

Just want a quick sanity check to make sure this will work (going to implement tomorrow).

What I want to achieve:

PC's piggybacking on VoIP phones uplink, operating on separate VLAN's (I know the easy answer is run more cables or question why it wasn't scoped properly the first place).

How I'm planning on achieving this:

  1. Create 2 separate VLANs (1 for data, 2 for VoIP) on the Meraki, trunk them both to the Netgear.
  2. Setup DHCP scope for VLAN 2 on the Meraki (VLAN 1's DHCP is handled by one of the DC's on that network).
  3. Allow untagged traffic on all ports via VLAN 1 and tag all ports to allow traffic via VLAN 2 (on Netgear)
  4. Setup VoIP phones to listen on VLAN 2
  5. Plugin PC to VoIP handset and pray it works.

Before you ask, the phones are all gigabit passthrough, so there shouldn't be any bandwidth issues. QOS/traffic shaping rules will be added in after assuming the above works.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, leave PVID as 1.
