Chapter 15 Configuring Voice VLAN

Configuring Voice VLAN

Configuring Cisco IP Phone Voice Traffic

You can configure a port connected to the Cisco IP Phone to send CDP packets to the phone to configure the way in which the phone sends voice traffic. The phone can carry voice traffic in IEEE 802.1Q frames for a specified voice VLAN with a Layer 2 CoS value. It can use IEEE 802.1p priority tagging to give voice traffic a higher priority and forward all voice traffic through the native (access) VLAN. The Cisco IP Phone can also send untagged voice traffic or use its own configuration to send voice traffic in the access VLAN. In all configurations, the voice traffic carries a Layer 3 IP precedence value (the default is 5).

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure voice traffic on a port:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

 

 

interface interface-id

Specify the interface connected to the phone, and enter interface

 

 

configuration mode.

Step 3

 

 

mls qos trust cos

Configure the interface to classify incoming traffic packets by using the

 

 

packet CoS value. For untagged packets, the port default CoS value is used.

 

 

Note Before configuring the port trust state, you must first globally enable

 

 

QoS by using the mls qos global configuration command.

Step 4

 

 

switchport voice {detect

Configure how the Cisco IP Phone carries voice traffic:

 

cisco-phone [full-duplex]vlan

detect—Configure the interface to detect and recognize a Cisco IP

 

{vlan-id dot1p none untagged}}

 

phone.

 

 

 

 

cisco-phone—When you initially implement the switchport voice detect

 

 

command, this is the only allowed option. The default is no switchport

 

 

voice detect cisco-phone [full-duplex].

 

 

full-duplex—(Optional) Configure the switch to only accept a

 

 

full-duplex Cisco IP phone.

 

 

vlan-id—Configure the phone to forward all voice traffic through the

 

 

specified VLAN. By default, the Cisco IP Phone forwards the voice

 

 

traffic with an IEEE 802.1Q priority of 5. Valid VLAN IDs are 1 to

 

 

4094.

 

 

dot1p—Configure the phone to use IEEE 802.1p priority tagging for

 

 

voice traffic and to use the default native VLAN (VLAN 0) to carry all

 

 

traffic. By default, the Cisco IP Phone forwards the voice traffic with an

 

 

IEEE 802.1p priority of 5.

 

 

none—Allow the phone to use its own configuration to send untagged

 

 

voice traffic.

 

 

untagged—Configure the phone to send untagged voice traffic.

Step 5

 

 

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 6

 

 

show interfaces interface-id

Verify your voice VLAN entries.

 

switchport or

 

 

show running-config interface

Verify your QoS and voice VLAN entries.

 

interface-id

 

Step 7

 

 

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
