Chapter 55 Configuring a VoIP Network

Configuring VoIP on a Switch

You can configure the Cisco IP Phone 7960 access port (see Figure 55-5) to either trusted or untrusted mode.

In untrusted mode, all the traffic in the 802.1Q or 802.1p frames that are received through the access port is marked with a configured Layer 2 CoS value. The default Layer 2 CoS value is 0. The untrusted mode is the default when the phone is connected to a Cisco LAN switch.

In trusted mode, all the traffic that is received through the access port passes through the phone switch unchanged. The trusted mode is the default when the phone is not connected to a Cisco LAN switch.

The traffic in the frame types other than 802.1Q or 802.1p passes through the phone switch unchanged, regardless of the access port trust state.
