QuestionQ596

Network Access

An engineer is configuring data and voice services to pass through the same port. The designated switch interface fastethernet0/1 must transmit packets using the same priority for data when they are received from the access port of the IP phone. Which configuration must be used?

  • A interface fastethernet0/1 switchport voice vlan dot1p
  • B interface fastethernet0/1 switchport priority extend cos 7
  • C interface fastethernet0/1 switchport voice vlan untagged
  • D interface fastethernet0/1 switchport priority extend trust
Explanation

On a Cisco switch port connected to an IP phone, switchport priority extend trust preserves the incoming IEEE 802.1p/CoS priority of data traffic arriving from the phone’s access port instead of assigning a new value. Cisco documentation defines switchport priority extend {cos value | trust} as the setting that controls the priority of data traffic received from the Cisco IP Phone access port; the trust option keeps the received priority, while a numeric cos value overrides it. The switchport voice vlan ... commands configure voice VLAN handling, not preservation of data-packet priority.
