Configuring Voice VLAN

Untagged traffic from the device attached to the Cisco IP Phone passes through the phone unchanged,
Note
regardless of the trust state of the access port on the phone.

Default Voice VLAN Configuration

The voice VLAN feature is disabled by default.
When the voice VLAN feature is enabled, all untagged traffic is sent according to the default CoS
priority of the port.
The CoS value is not trusted for IEEE 802.1p or IEEE 802.1Q tagged traffic.

Voice VLAN configuration is only supported on switch access ports; voice VLAN configuration is
not supported on trunk ports.
Trunk ports can carry any number of voice VLANs, similar to regular VLANs. The configuration of
voice VLANs is not required on trunk ports.
The voice VLAN should be present and active on the switch for the IP phone to correctly
communicate on the voice VLAN. Use the show vlan privileged EXEC command to see if the
VLAN is present (listed in the display). If the VLAN is not listed, see
VLANs," for information on how to create the voice VLAN.
Before you enable voice VLAN, we recommend that you enable QoS on the switch by entering the
mls qos global configuration command and configure the port trust state to trust by entering the mls
qos trust cos interface configuration command. If you use the auto-QoS feature, these settings are
automatically configured. For more information, see
You must enable CDP on the switch port connected to the Cisco IP Phone to send the configuration
to the phone. (CDP is globally enabled by default on all switch interfaces.)
The Port Fast feature is automatically enabled when voice VLAN is configured. When you disable
voice VLAN, the Port Fast feature is not automatically disabled.
If the Cisco IP Phone and a device attached to the phone are in the same VLAN, they must be in the
same IP subnet. These conditions indicate that they are in the same VLAN:
They both use IEEE 802.1p or untagged frames.
