[cisco-voip] Switch Hanging off Phone

Like Mike suggested.

We use spanning-tree bpduguard enable on all of our access ports.
I also have ip dhcp snooping enabled on all 3560/3750 in our network and only
trust the uplinks and valid ports.


Just a standard part of my switch configs, can save you some
headaches in the future because of end user cabling errors or rouge DHCP servers.

I once had a cleaning person wanting to move the CAT5 cable out of the way connect
the other end of the cable back to the second port in the wall jack, flattened that network.

Why is there no priority out command on this voice port. That could cause issues if you had a broadcast storm on the port from a loop on the network

Thanks Mike.  The config of the switchport:

interface FastEthernet0/4
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport mode dynamic desirable
 switchport voice vlan 6
 srr-queue bandwidth share 10 10 60 20
 srr-queue bandwidth shape  10  0  0  0
 mls qos trust device cisco-phone
 mls qos trust cos
 auto qos voip cisco-phone
 spanning-tree portfast

It really screwed around with the phones.  The data stayed ok.

He came off from the switchport, into the 7940.  From there into the Linksys (which has a built in 4 port switch) and one of those ports he had plugged into his PC.

What do you think?

What was the configuration of the switchport ?  Also was the data vlan
affected at all or just devices on the voice vlan ?  A common issue we
have seen with hubs plugged in is them getting mis-cabled by the
enduser and getting looped up causing major issues on the network.  I
do not believe the linksys devices send BPDUs.  If it was a cabling
issue on the linksys ..then enabling bpduguard on the port will
errdisable the port..because the port will receive its own bpdu if the
linksys is miscabled.

Also, the linksys could have been acting as a rouge dhcp server.  Not
knowing how your network is set up or the symptoms you were
experiencing it would be hard to tell.

Just a few guesses ;-)
