[cisco-voip] VoIP and Linksys

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Ah - sorry, I assumed daisy chaining.

Do you have to have both data and voice on this linksys hub? If not, than I would configure the one available port as an access port with the voicevlan as it's access vlan, plug in the linksys hub into it, and then plug the phones into those ports. This should work without any modifications on the phone.

  I figured out that I could do that, but most of the phones that we will be using for this are 7905s.  They only have one port.

  You should be able to daisychain phones. We did it for a while, and ran into a problem where either the phones or switches reset themselves, but then found evidence of this phone configuration parameter which should fix things:

   

        Forwarding Delay :
       Indicates whether the internal switch begins forwarding packets between the PC port and switched port on your phone when your phone becomes active. When forwarding delay is set to disabled, the internal switch begins forwarding packets immediately. When forwarding delay is set to enabled, the internal switch waits 8 seconds before forwarding packets between the PC port and the SW port. You should set Forwarding Delay to enabled when you connect both ports to switches for redundant uplinks or when you daisy chain phones together. 
        This is a required field.
        Default: Disabled.

    We have separate VLANS for our phones and data.  I have a situation, where I need to set up a room with multiple phones, and I do not have enough data jacks to plug them all in to.  Is there any way that I can use a standard Linksys SOHO switch to connect the phones to?  I know that I will need power cords, but I need to know how to configure the phone to get the right IP since Linksys does not support separate VLANS.  Thanks.
