[chan.puilai]

Is there any

Phone 7961 solution without implementing "switchport voice" immediately at switch port but at the switch before the switch which is directly connected to the phone?

(Please see attached diagram. )

No. "switchport voice vlan" works only if configured on the swtch directly connected to the phone.
