Cisco Catalyst Switches: Objectives

Upon completing this lesson, you will be able to:

• Identify the Cisco Catalyst switches used in a Cisco IP
telephony solution
• Identify how Cisco Catalyst switch models supply power to the
IP Phones
• Describe the options for powering Cisco IP Phones
• Configure dual VLANs on a single port on a Cisco Catalyst
switch
• Configure CoS on the Cisco Catalyst switch models to extend
to the device beyond the Cisco IP Phone so that voice packets
have priority over data packets

 Three Ways to Power IP Phones

• Inline power:
– Needs powered line cards for
Catalyst switches
– Uses pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 (same as
Ethernet) for delivering –48V
• External power:
– Needs external power patch panel
– Patch panel delivers –48V over pins
4, 5, 7, and 8 110V AC
AC Wall Power
• Wall power: Source to 48V DC
Converter

– Needs DC converter for connecting IP

Phone to wall outlet

Configuring Inline Power

Cisco CatOS:
CatOS>(enable) set port inlinepower <mod/port> ?
auto Port inline power auto mode
off/never Port inline power off mode

Native Cisco IOS:

CSCOIOS(config-if)# power inline <auto/never>

Default Power Allocation

CatOS>(enable) set inlinepower defaultallocation value

A Multi-VLAN Access Port

An access port able to handle 2 VLANs

Native VLAN (PVID) and Auxiliary VLAN (VVID)

Configuring Voice VLANs Using Cisco
CatOS

Syntax:

Console>(enable) set port auxiliaryvlan <mod/port>

<vlan|untagged|dot1p|none>(vlan = 1..1000)

Example:

Console>(enable) set port auxiliaryvlan 2/1-3 222

Auxiliaryvlan 222 configuration successful.
AuxiliaryVlan AuxVlanStatus Mod/Ports

Configuring Voice VLANs Using
Native Cisco IOS

Example:

Console(config)#interface FastEthernet0/1
Console(config-if)#switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
Console(config-if)#switchport trunk native vlan 12
Console(config-if)#switchport mode trunk
Console(config-if)#switchport voice vlan 112
Console(config-if)#spanning-tree portfast

Extending QoS to the IP Phone
This feature allows the extension of the trusted boundary
to the IP Phone.

Phone VLAN = 200 PC VLAN = 3

CoS = 5 CoS = 7
V

IP Phone: Desktop PC:

IP Subnet B IP Subnet A
PC is not trusted CoS = 0 CoS = 7
CoS set to 0 (normal)

PC is not trusted CoS = 2 CoS = 7

CoS set to 2

CoS = 7 CoS = 7
PC is trusted

Configuring CoS
Cisco CatOS

set port qos <mod/port> cos-ext <cos-value>

• Allows you to statically configure the CoS assigned to the attached device

set port qos <mod/port> trust-ext <untrusted/trust-

cos>

• Allows you to trust or not trust (set to zero) the CoS assigned to the attached
device
Native Cisco IOS

Switch(config)#interface FastEthernet0/1
Switch(config-if)#switchport priority extend
<cos/none/trust>

• Choose to modify, ignore, or trust the CoS of the attached device

Summary

• Cisco voice-capable switches support three primary feature sets that

can assist with an IP telephony deployment: inline power, auxiliary
VLANs, and CoS.
• Cisco VoIP Catalyst switch models that support inline power and
multiple VLANs on a single port include the Catalyst 4000 series switch,
Catalyst 6000 series switch, and Catalyst 3524-PWR XL Ethernet switch.
The Catalyst inline-power patch panel enables inline power for Cisco
multiservice enabled Catalyst switches.
• Most Cisco IP Phone models are capable of using three options for
power: inline power, external power, and wall power.

Summary (Cont.)

• Using dual VLANs on a single port Cisco Catalyst switch

improves network scalability when you combine a voice
network into a data network.
• When a PC and an IP Phone share the same switch port, you
can use the CoS on Cisco Catalyst switch models to classify
circuits so that voice packets have priority over data packets.

without any expansion modules attached?
4. Which device does not support a single port with
multiple VLANs?
5. Which item is a network layer QoS marking?
