The main reason why I decide to create posts like this one despite
the fact that there are millions if not more similar posts, explanations
and websites out there on the internet is mainly because I simply enjoy
gathering all relevant information from various sources then combine it
all into a single unit so we do not have to jump from one website to
another in order to find whatever we’re after, this relates to Cisco and
Cisco only of course
This set up is most definitely how it all looks like in your office
environment, go ahead and first check and see how your PC connects with
your desk phone then from the phone trace the cable which most likely
connects to RJ45 floor port which most likely is located under your desk
then it all goes through the walls of your company all the way back to
your Company’s Comms Room (Data Centre) where it connects into a patch
panel in one of the network cabinets and from there directly to L2
switch which then goes to your business’s L3 Core switches,
routers,firewalls etc …
I have spent really long hours on this one, especially the one that involves 802.1p tag
I have been looking into this like a madman and must admit that Voice combined with QOS is not the easiest to understand.
The reason why it takes so long top prepare for the LAB is because
you never know what Cisco is going to ask you to configure or
troubleshoot and this is because we need to know and understand it all
!!
The upstream switch communicates with the Cisco IP phone using CDP to
set up an interconnection link that allows the Cisco IP phone to send
VoIP packets on its uplink port back to the switch, either in the VoIP
VLAN or in the data VLAN
So there are 4 modes to set up a switch port you expect to plug a phone into (Interface Ethernet 4/0 connects to the phone)
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
1. First you can just use a regular access port. In this mode, both the
phone traffic and pc data both land on the same access vlan and there is
no way to distinguish between the two. Two things to note, because the
traffic will use the same vlan then you have a security risk as well as
having no ability to provide QOS priority to only the phone. Any QOS is
applied to ALL traffic coming in that switch port.
Rack5SW2(config)#int ethernet 4/0
Rack5SW2(config-if)#switchport mode access
Rack5SW2(config-if)#switchport access vlan 79
or
Rack5SW2(config)#int ethernet 4/0
Rack5SW2(config-if)#switchport mode access
Rack5SW2(config-if)#switchport voice vlan none
