RE: Voice Vlan 0 - DOT1P

The behavior will be a bit different from what you describe ...

Think of the dot1p command as a way to allow QoS while the voice and the data
are in the same vlan,
 and think of old XL series switches that don't know how to read DSCP values.
 The command instructs the phone to mark all voice traffic with an 802.1q tag,
but the vlan part of the
 tag will always be 0 (zero) and the Cos part will be 5, add some trust
commands and you end up with a port
 that incoming voice and data traffic on it are on the same vlan, but with
different QoS treatment.

When a switch receive an 802.1q tag with vlan = 0, it places it in to the
native vlan.

That way of configuring things is pretty much outdated now days, since voice
and data should_not be on the
 same vlan. So the common way is to enable the auxiliary vlan support on a
port which allow a non-tagging
 port to understand and forward tagged traffic from one single vlan (the voice
vlan).

What are you trying to configure, if you will explain your needs, perhaps I'd
be able to suggest an alternate config ...

Hi ..

My understanding (as feeble as it is ) is as follows:

If the fport is considered as such:

int fas 0/10
switch access vlan 10
switch voice vlan dot1p

Then the voice traffic will come end up on vlan 1 (default native vlan for
trunk) and untagged data from pc will end up as vlan 10

if the config is as follows:

int fas 0/10
switch access vlan 10
switch voice vlan dot1p
switch trunk native vlan 200

then the untagged data will end up as vlan 10 and the voice as 200 (because
it is the native vlan)

Is this correct ?
