The answer provided for lab 36 is not wrong, but it is misleading. There are
two different questions in that lab. I am only referring to the one where
the command 'sw mode trunk' is NOT used.

Version 1:

interface FastEthernet0/11
 switchport access vlan 102
 switchport voice vlan 101
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q <----This command is unnecessary.
 switchport priority extend cos 0
 no ip address
 mls qos cos 1
 mls qos cos override
 spanning-tree portfast

        You can verify this command is unnessary by using 'sw trunk encap isl' here
instead. 7960s only support dot1q so you might think the phone will break
with encap ISL, but it will continue to work. In access or dynamic mode,
voice vlan uses dot1q and overrides trunk encap command. When I changed to
static trunk mode with ISL encap, then my 7960s and call manager finally
failed. See a post I made about 3 weeks ago for more details.

Hi group,

Studying IPexperts lab 36 I found two solutions for connecting Cisco IP
Phone to cat. Can you explain me the differences and when the
configurations should be used?

Version 1:

interface FastEthernet0/11
 switchport access vlan 102
 switchport voice vlan 101
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport priority extend cos 0
 no ip address
 mls qos cos 1
 mls qos cos override
 spanning-tree portfast

Version2

interface FastEthernet0/12
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk native vlan 202
 switchport mode trunk
 switchport voice vlan 201
 no ip address
 spanning-tree portfast
