It works either way...
The ios command for voice vlan does the same thing that
Aux vlans does for catos...
Or you can use the trunk command in ios switches to trunk more
Than one vlan....

Subject: Re: Voice VLAN - Access ports
Gladston,
No doubt. There is NO ONE document can prove if it is correct or not. As
I mentioned in previous post. Access port carries traffic for more than
1 vlan is not what most people learned. But this is what I found from
cisco documentation and not just one. I checked both 3550 and 6500(voice
vlan=aux
vlan) configuration from cisco.com <http://cisco.com>. Plus I(myself)
actually labbed it up with 3550EMI+7960phone. Well, did I overlook
something? It is possible. I am not a Network Engineer but really want
to figure out the technology. So far, I know both trunk port and access
port work as well.
Actually, I keep thinking about the pros and cons for both. What is the
advantage, overhead...etc. Like Brian Dennis said in one of the online
seminars. I truly agree, understand the technology is the key point.
Passing the lab is important. I don't feel good to myself if I get a
chance to hold a number but don't know what myself is doing. Wish Chris
Lewis can find out for us.
:)
Ed Lui
P.S. Technology is changing every day. The standard is based upon the
creator. Who knows if one day access port can carry no more than 5
vlans. It is all up to the creator.
