Re: Voice access port trunking

It was in the earlier days prior to auxiliary / voice vlan that you need to configure such. Simply configuring your voice vlan identifier (switchp voice vlan no) is all you need to do now. This is not to say doing it now wouldn't work because technically the cisco phones have minimum switching capability but this isn't ideal. (security loophole etc).

I would say there are no professional advantages. More disadvantage. Think of all the disadvantage of having an unprotected switch on your network. The phone is not meant to carry any traffic other than voice with exception of the single tagged data traffic.
