Question on VLAN for Voice and Data for the same port.

rwamstutz · ‎05-10-2007

All: this port config below, is an end user port 201 is for data, 246 is for voice. What is the command:

"switchport trunk native vlan 205" doing?

interface FastEthernet1/0/18

switchport access vlan 201

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk native vlan 205

switchport mode dynamic desirable

switchport voice vlan 246

srr-queue bandwidth share 10 10 60 20

srr-queue bandwidth shape 10 0 0 0

mls qos trust device cisco-phone

mls qos trust cos

auto qos voip cisco-phone

spanning-tree portfast

Also, if a port had a config like below:

interface FastEthernet1/0/18

switchport access vlan 200

switchport voice vlan 245

should there be a switchport mode access command?

Hi Friend,

Your second config looks better

interface FastEthernet1/0/18

switchport mode access

switchport access vlan x <----Data Vlan

switchport voice vlan x <---- Voice Vlan

Once you configure voice vlan command on an interface you need not configure the switch interface as trunk port as voice vlan internall forms a trunk.

ankur:

what does these commands do, if switchport voice and switchport access are also configured?

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk native vlan 205

switchport mode dynamic desirable

Well the switchport trunk exncapsulation dot1q can be removed of the phone is a Cisco phone, you would require it if there is a Avaya or any other phone.

Switchport mode dynamic desirable should actually go away when you configure switch mode access, since you have access vlan configured.

Ideally speaking this command is also not required:"switchport trunk native vlan 205": In 802.1Q trunking, all VLAN packets are tagged on the trunk link, except the native VLAN. The native VLAN packets are sent untagged on the trunk link. Therefore, the native VLAN should be the same on both switches configured for trunking. This way, you can deduce to which VLAN a frame belongs when you receive a frame with no tag. By default, VLAN 1 is the native VLAN on all switches.

Hi Friend,

This command will form a trunk and will allow all vlan traffic where vlan 205 vlan traffic will pass the trunk untagged.

Ideally when you connect an ip phone and a computer to an ip phone the recommended configuration is

switchport access vlan

switchport voice vlan

switchport mode access
