[cisco-voip] Softphone versus Hardphone Vlan Constraint

[Ryan Ratliff]

While that would be a neat feature you'd have to have a NIC with the  
ability to handle the dot1q tagged packets.  I'm sure this would  
prevent most laptop users from using the software.

So the softphones are in the data vlan?

I would have imagined that they would make the PC behave like a true IP
phone: have a trunk to the switch, listen to the CDP advertisement of  
the
voice VLAN, and tag the outgoing voice packets with it (leaving the data
packets untagged)...

Now wouldn't that be nice?
