Prerequisites for Voice VLANs
The following are the prerequisites for voice VLANs:
-
Voice VLAN configuration is only supported on switch access ports; voice VLAN configuration is not supported on trunk ports.
Note
Trunk ports can carry any number of voice VLANs, similar to regular VLANs. The configuration of voice VLANs is not supported on trunk ports.
-
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.
-
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.)
