| Hello,
I have always configured the switch IOS ports where IP phones are connected this way:
int fa0/1
switchport access vlan DATA
switchport voice vlan VOICE
switchport mode access
spanning-tree portfast
But I've seen in the CCVP courses that the configuration is different:
interface fastethernet 0/1
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk native vlan DATA
switchport mode trunk
switchport voice vlan VOICE
spanning-tree portfast
Can anybody explain me the differences between them and if any of them have any advantage respect the other one? I prefer the first one rather than the second, I don't like to configure a trunk to connect a phone, but I want to understand why cisco recommends the second configuration respect the first one?
Thanks in advance,
Ruben
