Figure 16-1 Cisco 7960 IP Phone Connected to a Switch
When the IP phone connects to the switch, the access port (PC-to-telephone jack) of the IP phone can
connect to a PC. Packets to and from the PC and to or from the IP phone share the same physical link to
the switch and the same switch port. For deployment examples that use voice VLANs, refer to the
“Network Configuration Examples” section on page 1-8.

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 trusted for all 802.1P or 802.1Q tagged traffic.
