Cisco IP Phone Voice Traffic

You can configure an access port with an attached Cisco IP Phone to use one VLAN for voice traffic
and another VLAN for data traffic from a device attached to the phone. You can configure access ports
on the switch to send Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) packets that instruct an attached phone to send
voice traffic to the switch in any of these ways:

In the voice VLAN tagged with a Layer 2 CoS priority value

In the access VLAN tagged with a Layer 2 CoS priority value

In the access VLAN, untagged (no Layer 2 CoS priority value)

Note

In all configurations, the voice traffic carries a Layer 3 IP precedence value (the default is 5 for voice
traffic and 3 for voice control traffic).

Cisco IP Phone Data Traffic

The switch can also process tagged data traffic (traffic in IEEE 802.1Q or IEEE 802.1p frame types)
from the device attached to the access port on the Cisco IP Phone (see

Figure 15-1

). You can configure

Layer 2 access ports on the switch to send CDP packets that instruct the attached phone to configure the
phone access port in one of these modes:

In trusted mode, all traffic received through the access port on the Cisco IP Phone passes through
the phone unchanged.

In untrusted mode, all traffic in IEEE 802.1Q or IEEE 802.1p frames received through the access
port on the Cisco IP Phone receive a configured Layer 2 CoS value. The default Layer 2 CoS value
is 0. Untrusted mode is the default.
