RE: Voice Vlan 0 - DOT1P

I was looking at this today. Can you let me know if i have it backwards?
The 802.1p tag contains vlan 0, which is the native vlan. but when you
connect the cisco phone to the cisco switch a trunk is automatically
formed.
With switchport interface command switchport access vlan 5, wouldn't the
data traffic be tagged with vlan 5 and the 802.1p traffic be placed into
the native vlan (vlan0)?

THank You.

  If you search Cisco's website (or Google) you'll find lots of
  references for
  VLAN 0 in regards to Voice VLANs. Basically, this is a designation
  for
  untagged frames, which means whatever your trunk's native VLAN is set
  to in
  the dot1q trunk to an IP phone, that's what VLAN 0 represents.

  That'll also mean it's the same VLAN as your PC's data behind the
  phone, and
  I'll tell you that's generally not a good idea in deployments. But
  this is
  all about the lab. :)

  So how about changing your voice vlan to something other than the
  default
  command set!

  To an IP phone, you SHOULD be trunking. The general spec is voice is
  tagged
  (dot1q), PC data is untagged (access vlan AKA your trunk's native
  vlan,
  untagged).

  Hi all...
  sorry if this has been answered before.....

  I am playing around with voice vlans on 3550's

  When I invoke the "switch voice vlan dot1p" command I get a message
  referring to the voice VLAN being VLAN0, yet i cannot create/see VLAN
  0

  So where is this mystical VLAN ? How do I use it and why is the
  voice
  traffic there ?? I would have thought that i would put it on the
  default
  native vlan for the interface (usually vlan 1) .....as usual the
  Cisco doco
  is unhelpful..and to some extent confusing (to me at least)...

  Also if voice vlan is 0 and access vlan is 1, doesnt this imply that
  the
  port is also trunking ??

  any explanation gratefully accepted..

  Regds
  AlanE
