Voice Vlan Configuration Guidelines - Cisco Catalyst 2960 series Configuration Manual

Voice VLAN Configuration Guidelines

• In untrusted mode, all traffic in IEEE 802.1Q or IEEE 802.1p frames received through the access port
Note Untagged traffic from the device attached to the Cisco IP Phone passes through the phone unchanged,
regardless of the trust state of the access port on the phone.

◦ The Cisco IP Phone uses IEEE 802.1p frames, and the device uses untagged frames.

◦ The Cisco IP Phone uses IEEE 802.1Q frames, and the voice VLAN is the same as the access
