hi Anthony,
Thanks a lot for the explanation. That's mean, if we configure the
switchport with switchport mode access vlan instead of trunk. Than The COS
will have no effect right ?
So do we have to configure a trunk mode port or we just use switchport voice
vlan which is automatically turn the port to trunk ?
Is that correct ?
Thanks
Regards

Subject: Re: Layer 2 qos
The Layer 2 QoS markings may be generically termed Class of Service (CoS)
markings. In both ISL and 802.1Q frames across the trunk, there are three
bits reserved for the CoS marking.
The Cisco IP Phone is acting like a Layer 2 switch. Taking traffic from the
PC and the phone itself and trunking this traffic to the Catalyst switch
with CoS markings. By default the phone marks the VoIP traffic with a CoS of
5. This is the highest value Cisco recommends for marking traffic. Values 6
and 7 are reserved for network device usage.
