Overriding The Cos Priority Of Incoming Frames - Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Configuration Manual

Chapter 41 Configuring Voice Interfaces

Overriding the CoS Priority of Incoming Frames

A PC or another data device can connect to a Cisco 7960 IP Phone port. The PC can generate packets
with an assigned CoS value. You can also use the switch CLI to override the priority of frames arriving
on the phone port from connected devices, and you can set the phone port to accept (trust) the priority
of frames arriving on the port.
To override the CoS priority setting received from the non-voice port on the Cisco 7960 IP Phone,
perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Switch# configure terminal
Step 2
Switch(config)# interface {fastethernet |
gigabitethernet} slot/port
Step 3
Switch(config-if)# [no] qos trust extend cos 3
Step 4
Switch(config-if)# end
Step 5
Switch# show interface {fastethernet |
gigabitethernet} slot/port switchport
Configuring Power
The Catalyst 4500 series switch recognizes that it is connected to a Cisco 7960 IP Phone. The
Catalyst 4500 series switch can supply Power over Ethernet (PoE) to the Cisco 7960 IP Phone if there
is no power on the circuit. The Cisco 7960 IP Phone can also be connected to an AC power source and
supply its own power to the voice circuit. If there is power on the circuit, the switch does not supply it.
You can configure the switch not to supply power to the Cisco 7960 IP Phone and to disable the detection
mechanism. For information on the CLI commands that you can use to supply PoE to a Cisco 7960 IP
Phone, see
