Hello Avner,
I was really in doubt of this because all workbooks I did so far requested
me to configure the "switchport voice vlan xx" to allow the 802.1p .
But there is a CoS training program in the PEC - Partner Education
Connection (at cisco.com). The course name is: "Implementing Cisco Quality
of Service (QoS) 2.2 - EXPRESS" . chapter 4 ( classification and marking )
(slide 4-116 ).
The instructor says pretty clear that - if the switch attached to the IP
PHONE is configured correctly. it is going to detect that a phone is
attached and it is going to dynamically create a 802.1q trunk between the
switch and the Phone. Why do we need a trunk between the switch and the
phone ? because a trunk carries traffic for multiple VLANS, and we have two
vlans in play. we have the voice vlan, sometimes called the auxiliary vlan
and we have the data vlan ... -
So this is where my question came from !
Thanks a lot !
Daniel,
