[cisco-voip] phones working on a dumb switch with voice/data vlans switched properly

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Ok. I hear ya. But wouldn’t the switch need to support 802.1q to support those tagged packets?

This switch didn’t specify that it supported 802.1q.

I haven't really tried the kind of thing you described in quite a long time. But I assume the reason the phone gets an IP address is because the CDP VVLAN information is being successfully sent through the unmanaged non-Cisco switch so the phone actually sees it. The phone learns its VVLAN ID, so starts tagging all its frames and therefore gets an IP from the VVLAN. The other devices plugged into the switch (or behind the phone) don't normally need to tag, so the frames are coming through up to the Cisco switch untagged and are therefore in the native/access VLAN on the port and getting one of those IPs.

So I guess that unmanaged switch passes any CDP through to all ports, and also passes any tagged traffic through unaltered.

OK - I'm probably showing my ignorance here, but I was quite surprised to find out that plugging in a dumb Dlink DES-105 switch into our cisco switch with access layer programming, so data vlan and voice vlan, extended things such that when a phone is plugged in, it got an IP address on the voice vlan, and plugging a non-phone device got an ip address on the data vlan and then plugging a similar device into the back of the phone also got an ip address on the data vlan. We plugged in multiple phones as well. All worked fine. *phones powered by brick*

I can appreciate a passthrough device, I've used them before as ethernet extenders. By what I'm not understanding is how traffic is being classed properly through to this dumb switch.

We're using a new 9300 series switch, but I'm not sure that would make a difference.
