Hardware and Software Requirements

The hardware and software requirements for the Catalyst 6500 series switches and Cisco CallManager are as follows:

Catalyst 4000, 5000, and 6500 series switches running supervisor engine software release 6.1(1) or later releases

Cisco CallManager release 3.0 or later releases

Understanding How a VoIP Network Works

A telephony system built on an IP network instead of the traditional circuit-switched private branch exchange (PBX) network is called an IP PBX system. See Figure 47-1; the individual components of this system are described in these sections:

Access Gateways

How a Call Is Made

Figure 47-1 IP PBX System

Cisco IP Phone 7960

The Cisco IP Phone 7960 provides connectivity to the IP PBX system. The IP phone has two RJ-45 jacks for connecting to external devices, a LAN-to-phone jack and a PC-to-phone jack. The jacks use either Category 3 or Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable. The LAN-to-phone jack is used to connect the phone to the LAN using a crossover cable; a workstation or a PC can be connected to the PC-to-phone jack using a straight-through cable.

The IP phone is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) capable. Optionally, the IP phone can be programmed with a static IP address.

The IP phone can be powered by the following sources:

External power source—Optional transformer and power cord for connecting to a standard wall receptacle.

Ethernet switching module with voice daughter card installed—Provides inline power to the IP phone.

WS-PWR-PNL—Inline-power patch panel provides inline power to the IP phone. The inline patch panel allows the IP phone to be connected to existing Catalyst 4000, 5000, and 6500 series 10/100BASE-TX switching modules.

Examples 1 through 4 in Figure 47-2 show how to connect the Cisco IP Phone 7960 and PCs to the Catalyst 6500 series switch.

Figure 47-2 Connecting the Cisco IP Phone 7960 to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch

Example 1: Single Cisco IP Phone 7960

Example 1 shows one IP phone that is connected to the 10/100 port on the Catalyst 6500 series switch. The PC-to-phone jack on the phone is not used. The phone can be powered through either the 10/100 port or wall powered.

Example 2: Single PC

Example 2 shows one PC that is connected to the 10/100 port on the Catalyst 6500 series switch. The PC is wall powered.

Example 3: One Cisco IP Phone 7960 and One PC

Example 3 shows one IP phone that is connected to the 10/100 port on the Catalyst 6500 series switch and one PC that is connected to the PC-to-phone jack on the phone. The PC behaves as if it is connected directly to the 10/100 port on the Catalyst 6500 series switch. The phone can be powered through the 10/100 port or wall powered. The PC must be wall powered.

Example 4: Two Cisco IP Phone 7960s and One PC

Example 4 shows two IP phones that are connected to the 10/100 port on the Catalyst 6500 series switch and one PC that is connected to the PC-to-phone jack on the phone. The PC behaves as if it is connected directly to the 10/100 port on the Catalyst 6500 series switch. The first phone can be powered through the 10/100 port or wall powered. The second phone and the PC must be wall powered.


Note For information on configuring Cisco IP phones and third-party vendor phones, refer to the documentation that shipped with the phone.


Cisco CallManager

Cisco CallManager is an open and industry-standard call processing system; its software runs on a Windows NT server and sets up and tears down calls between phones, integrating traditional PBX functionality with the corporate IP network. Cisco CallManager manages the components of the IP PBX system, the phones, access gateways, and the resources for such features as call conferencing and media mixing. Each Cisco CallManager manages the devices within its zone and exchanges information with the Cisco CallManager in charge of another zone to make calls possible across multiple zones. Cisco CallManager can work with existing PBX systems to route a call over the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).


Note For information on configuring Cisco CallManager to work with the IP devices that are described in this chapter, refer to the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide, the Configuration Notes for Cisco CallManager, and the Cisco CallManager Remote Serviceability Users Guide publications.


Access Gateways

Access gateways allow the IP PBX system to talk to existing PSTN or PBX systems. Access gateways consist of analog station gateways, analog trunk gateways, digital trunk gateways, and a converged voice gateway.

These sections describe the gateways:

Analog Station Gateway

Analog Trunk Gateway

Digital Trunk Gateway

Converged Voice Gateway

Analog Station Gateway

The Catalyst 6500 series 24-port Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) analog interface module allows plain old telephone service (POTS) phones and fax machines to connect to the IP PBX network. The analog station gateway behaves like the PSTN side for the POTS equipment. It requires an IP address, is registered with Cisco CallManager in its domain, and is managed by Cisco CallManager.

To configure the analog station interfaces, see the "Configuring VoIP on the Switch" section. The module features are listed in Table 47-1.

Table 47-1 24-Port FXS Analog Interface Module Features

2 SPAN = Switched Port Analyzer


Analog Trunk Gateway

Cisco access analog trunk gateways allow the IP PBX to connect to the PSTN or PBX. The gateway supports up to eight trunks to the PSTN and appears like a phone to the trunk lines coming from the PSTN. Using this gateway, the IP PBX places an IP call through the PSTN. Similar to the analog station gateway, the analog trunk gateway provides line echo cancellation and dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) tone generation and detection. The analog trunk gateway does not provide ring voltage as it is not connected to POTS end devices such as POTS phones or fax machines. The analog trunk gateway requires an IP address, is registered with Cisco CallManager in its domain, and is managed by Cisco CallManager.

To configure the analog trunk gateways, refer to the documentation that shipped with the gateway.

Digital Trunk Gateway

The Catalyst 6500 series 8-port T1/E1 PSTN interface module can support both digital T1/E1 connectivity to the PSTN or transcoding and conferencing. The module requires an IP address, is registered with Cisco CallManager in its domain, and is managed by Cisco CallManager.

The module software is downloaded from a TFTP server. Depending upon which software you download, the ports can serve as T1/E1 interfaces or the ports support transcoding and conferencing. Transcoding and conferencing functions are mutually exclusive. For every transcoding port in use, one less conferencing port is available and vice versa.

To configure the 8-port T1/E1 PSTN interfaces, see the "Configuring VoIP on the Switch" section. The module features are listed in Table 47-2.

Table 47-2 8-Port T1/E1 PSTN Interface Module Features 

Digital Signal Processing Per T1/E1 Port

G.711 to G.723 and G.729a transcoding (maximum of 8 x 32 channels of transcoding)

Conference bridging, meet-me, and ad-hoc conference modes (maximum of 8 x 16 channels of conferencing)

Comfort noise generation

Fax pass-through

Silence suppression, voice activity detection

E1 line code: HDB3

Framing format: D4 superframe and extended superframe

Link Management

FDL1 is a link management protocol that is used to help diagnose problems and gather statistics on T1 lines

1 FDL = Facilities Data Link


Converged Voice Gateway

The Cisco Voice Gateway 200 (VG200) allows you to connect standard POTS phones (connected directly to the gateway or anywhere on the PSTN) with Cisco IP or any H.323-compliant telephony devices. When used with Cisco CallManager, the VG200 functions as a Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) gateway. The Cisco VG200 provides a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port for connection to the data network. The following telephony connections are also available:

One to four Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) ports for connecting to a central office or PBX

One to four FXS ports for connecting to POTS telephony devices

One or two T1 digital ports for connecting to the following:

PSTN using FXO emulation

T1 channel bank using FXS emulation

PBX through a trunk (tie) line using ear and mouth (E&M) emulation

These ports can be used to integrate a VoIP network with POTS devices, PBXs, or the PSTN.

To configure the Cisco VG200, refer to the documentation that shipped with the gateway.

How a Call Is Made

An IP phone connects to a LAN either through a hub port or a switch port. The IP phone boots up and uses DHCP to get its IP address and the IP address of its TFTP file server. The IP phone uses its IP address to talk to the TFTP server and gets its configuration file. The configuration file includes the IP address of the phone's Cisco CallManager(s). The phone then talks with Cisco CallManager and registers itself. Each time a phone boots up, it might get a different IP address. Cisco CallManager knows how to associate a consistent user phone number to a particular phone by using the MAC address of the phone. Cisco CallManager always maintains a table mapping the "phone MAC address" and "phone number." Each time a phone registers, the table is updated with the new IP address. During registration, Cisco CallManager downloads the key pad template and the feature capability for the phone. It tells the phone which run-time image it should use. The phone then goes to the TFTP server to get its run-time image. Each phone has a dedicated TCP connection to Cisco CallManager called the "control channel." All control information, such as key pressing, goes from the phone to Cisco CallManager through this channel. Instructions to generate ring tone, busy tone, and so on comes from Cisco CallManager to the phone through this channel.

Cisco CallManager stores the IP-address-to-phone-number mapping (and vice versa) in its tables. When a user wants to call another user, the user keys in the called party's phone number.
Cisco CallManager translates the phone number to an IP address and generates an IP packet version of ring tone to the called IP phone through the TCP connection. When the called IP phone receives the packet, it generates a ring tone. When the user picks up the phone, Cisco CallManager instructs the called IP phone to start talking with the calling party and removes itself from the loop. From this point on, the call goes between the two IP phones through the Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) which runs over the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Because voice packets are sensitive to delays, TCP is not suitable for voice transmission as timeouts and retries increase the delay between packets. When any change occurs during the call due to a feature being pressed on one of the phones, or one of the users hanging up or pressing the flash button, the information goes to Cisco CallManager through the control channel.

If a call is made to a number outside of the IP PBX network, Cisco CallManager routes the call to an analog or digital trunk gateway which in turn routes it to the PSTN.

Understanding How VLANs Work

This section describes native VLANs and auxiliary VLANs. This section uses the following terminology:

Auxiliary VLAN—Separate VLAN for IP phones

Native VLAN—Traditional VLAN for data

Auxiliary VLAN ID—VLAN ID of an auxiliary VLAN

Native VLAN ID—VLAN ID of a native VLAN


Note For more information about VLANs, see Chapter 11, "Configuring VLANs."


Figure 47-3 shows how you can connect a Cisco IP Phone 7960 to a Catalyst 6500 series switch.

Figure 47-3 Switch-to-Phone Connections

When the IP phone connects to a 10/100 port on the Catalyst 6500 series switch, the access port (PC-to-phone jack) of the IP phone can be used to connect a PC.

Packets to and from the PC and to and from the phone share the same physical link to the switch and the same port of the switch. Various configurations of connecting the phone and the PC are possible (see the "Cisco IP Phone 7960" section).

Introducing IP-based phones into existing switch-based networks raises the following issues:

The current VLANs might be configured on an IP subnet basis and additional IP addresses might not be available to assign the phone to a port so that it belongs to the same subnet as other devices (PC) that are connected to the same port.

Data traffic present on the VLAN supporting phones might reduce the quality of VoIP traffic.

You can resolve these issues by isolating the voice traffic onto a separate VLAN on each of the ports that are connected to a phone. The switch port that is configured for connecting a phone would have separate VLANs configured for carrying the following:

Voice traffic to and from the IP phone (auxiliary VLAN)

Data traffic to and from the PC that is connected to the switch through the access port of the IP phone (native VLAN)

Isolating the phones on a separate, auxiliary VLAN increases the quality of the voice traffic and allows a large number of phones to be added to an existing network where there are not enough IP addresses. A new VLAN means a new subnet and a new set of IP addresses.

Configuring VoIP on the Switch

This section describes the command-line interface (CLI) commands and the procedures that are used to configure the Catalyst 6500 series switch for VoIP operation:

Voice-Related CLI Commands

Configuring Per-Port Power Management

Configuring Auxiliary VLANs on Catalyst LAN Switches

Configuring the Access Gateways

Displaying Active Call Information

Configuring QoS in the Cisco IP Phone 7960

Configuring a Trusted Boundary to Ensure Port Security


Note For information on using automatic voice configuration, see the "Using Automatic Voice Configuration" section.



Note You must enable Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) on the Catalyst 6500 series switch port that is connected to the IP phone in order to communicate the auxiliary VLAN ID, per-port power management details, and quality of service (QoS) configuration information.

Configuring Per-Port Power Management

This section describes per-port power management and the CLI commands that are used to configure power management for IP phones.


Note To determine the exact power requirements for your configuration to ensure that you are within the system power budget, see the "Determining System Power Requirements" section on page 20-14.



Note This section applies to Ethernet switching modules with voice daughter cards only. For information on powering IP phones that are connected to other Ethernet switching modules, refer to the Catalyst Family Inline-Power Patch Panel Installation Note publication.


For each IP phone that is connected to an Ethernet switching module with the voice daugher card installed, the supervisor engine software allocates part of the available system power to power up and run the phone. The power can be applied on an individual port basis.

Only one IP phone can be powered per port; the phone must be connected directly to the switch port. If a second phone is daisy chained off the phone that is connected to the switch port, the second phone cannot be powered by the switch.

This section describes the following:

Using show Commands to Display Module Type and Version Information

To determine if an Ethernet switching module has a voice daughter card installed, enter the show module command and look at the "Sub" field. For example, in the following display, the 10/100BASE-TX module in slot 8 does not have a voice daughter card, while the module in slot 9 does have a voice daughter card.

To display module status and information, perform this task in normal mode:

Power Management Modes

Each port is configured through the CLI, SNMP, or a configuration file to be in one of the following modes (configured through the set port inlinepower CLI command):

Auto—The supervisor engine directs the switching module to power up the port only if the switching module discovers the phone.

Off—The supervisor engine does not direct the switching module to power up the port even if an unpowered phone is connected.

Each port also has a status, defined as one of the following:

on—Power is supplied by the port.

off—Power is not supplied by the port.

Power-deny—The supervisor engine does not have enough power to allocate to the port; power is not being supplied by the port.

faulty—The port is unable to provide power to the connected device.

These sections provide information that is related to IP phone power requirements and management:

Unpowered Phone

Power Requirements

Wall-Powered Phones

Powering Off the Phone

Phone Removal

High-Availability Support

Unpowered Phone

When an unpowered phone is discovered on a switching module port, the switching module reports to the supervisor engine that an unpowered phone is present and on which module/port. If the port is configured in Auto mode, the supervisor engine determines if there is enough available system power to allow the switching module to power up and run the phone. If there is sufficient power, the supervisor engine removes the default allocated power that is required by a phone from the total available system power and sends a message to the switching module instructing it to provide power to the port. If there is not enough available power for the phone, the supervisor engine sends a message to the switching module indicating that power is denied to the port.

After power is applied to the port, the supervisor engine monitors the port to ensure that the link comes up. If the link does not come up within 4 seconds, the supervisor engine instructs the switching module to turn off power. The entire cycle is repeated, and the switching module performs discovery and reports to the supervisor engine if a device is present on the port.

Power Requirements

IP phones may have different power requirements. The supervisor engine initially allocates the configured default of 7 W (167 mA at 42 V) to the Cisco IP Phone. When the correct amount of power is determined from the CDP messaging with the Cisco IP Phone, the supervisor engine reduces or increases the allocated power.

For example, the default allocated power is 7 W. A Cisco IP Phone requiring 6.3 W is plugged into a port. The supervisor engine allocates 7 W for the Cisco IP Phone and powers it up. Once the Cisco IP Phone is operational, it sends a CDP message with the actual power requirement to the supervisor engine. The supervisor engine then decreases the allocated power to the required amount.

Wall-Powered Phones

When a wall-powered phone is present on a switching module port, the switching module cannot detect its presence. The supervisor engine discovers the phone through CDP messaging with the port. If the phone supports inline power (the supervisor engine determines this through CDP), and the mode is set to Auto or Off, the supervisor engine does not attempt to power on the port. If a power outage occurs, and the mode is set to Auto, the phone loses power, but the switching module discovers the phone and informs the supervisor engine, which then applies inline power to the phone.

Powering Off the Phone

The supervisor engine can turn off power to a specific port by sending a message to the switching module. That power is then added back to the available system power. This situation occurs only when you power off the phone through the CLI or SNMP.

Phone Removal

The switching module informs the supervisor engine if a powered phone is removed using a link-down message. The supervisor engine then adds the allocated power for that port back to the available system power.

In addition, the switching module informs the supervisor engine if an unpowered phone is removed.


Caution When a phone cable is plugged into a port and power is turned on, the supervisor engine has a 4-second timeout waiting for the link to go up on the line. During those 4 seconds, if the phone cable is unplugged and a network device is plugged in, the device could be damaged. We recommend that you wait at least 10 seconds between unplugging a device and plugging in a new device.

High-Availability Support

To support high availability during a failover from the active supervisor engine to the standby supervisor engine, the per-port power management and phone status information is synchronized between the active and standby supervisor engines.

The information to be synchronized (on a per-port basis) is the presence of a phone, the phone power status (on, off, denied, or faulty), and the amount of power that is consumed by the phone. The active supervisor engine sends this information to the standby supervisor engine, and the standby supervisor engine updates its internal data structures. When a switchover occurs, the standby supervisor engine allocates power to the modules and ports from the available power, one module at a time. Once the power for each module has been allocated, the supervisor engine allocates power to the phones, beginning with the lowest slot number, until all inline powered ports have been either powered on, off, or denied.

Phone Detection Summary

The supervisor engine detects that the device is powered but the link is not up by setting a timeout when the switching module is directed to power up the device. If the timeout occurs and the supervisor engine has not received a "link up" for the port, this syslog message is displayed:

1999 Jul 14 10:05:58 %SYS-5-PORT_DEVICENOLINK: Device on Port 4/7 powered, no link up.

The supervisor engine also directs the switching module to power off the port. The switching module then performs discovery again on the port.

Port is Unable to Provide Inline Power to the Device

The switching module detects if there is a problem providing inline power to the device and reports this problem to the supervisor engine. This syslog message is displayed:

1999 Jul 14 10:05:58 %SYS-5-PORT_INLINEPWRFLTY: Port 4/7 reporting inline power as faulty.

Not Enough Available Power to Power the Device

The supervisor engine tracks the available power left in the system and does not power up any ports if no available power remains. This syslog message is displayed:

1999 Jul 14 10:05:58 %SYS-5-PORT_NOPOWERAVAIL: Device on Port 4/7 will remain unpowered.

The supervisor engine informs the switching module that power to the port is denied.

Power Supply Configured from Nonredundant to Redundant

Depending upon the number and type of modules in the chassis, you might need to power off some modules to prevent overdrawing power from the power supply. The supervisor engine first powers off and reallocates the power that is supplied by the ports and then starts powering off and reallocating the power that is used by the module.

Power Supply Configured from Redundant to Nonredundant

Once a module that was powered down due to lack of power is powered up and comes online, the module begins discovery on the ports to determine the presence of unpowered connected devices (phones). The module reports discovered devices to the supervisor engine, which then directs the switching module to power up the device (if the port is configured to do so).

For modules that are already powered on but have devices connected that are power denied, the supervisor engine attempts to power on the devices starting with the lowest numbered slot to the highest numbered slot, and from the lowest port number to the highest port number, one module at a time.

Setting the Power Mode of a Port or Group of Ports

To set the power mode of a port or group of ports, perform this task in normal mode:

Task
Command

Set the power mode of a port or group of ports.

set port inlinepower mod/port {off | auto}


This example shows how to set the power mode of a port or group of ports:

Console> (enable) set port inlinepower 2/5 off
Inline power for port 2/5 set to off.
Console> (enable) set port inlinepower 2/3-9 auto
Inline power for ports 2/3-9 set to auto.
Console> (enable)

Setting the Default Power Allocation

The set inlinepower defaultallocation command is global and only affects Cisco IP phones. The inline power threshold notification generates a syslog message when inline power usage exceeds the specified threshold. To set the default power allocation, perform this task in privileged mode (the default allocation value is 15400 milliwatts):


Caution The set inlinepower defaultallocation command can be harmful when there is not enough power in the system to bring up all connected inline power devices. If you set a small value for the power allocation, all connected inline power devices initially will be powered up. However, after receiving CDP messages, the system will learn that devices are consuming more power and deny power to some of the ports. Setting a small value might also result in the overdrawing of power for some time with unanticipated results, such as hardware failures and unexpected resets.


Note 7000 milliwatts is the maximum power supported for these modules: WS-X6348-RJ21V, WS-X6348-RJ-45V, WS-X6148-RJ-45V, and WS-X6148-RJ21V.


Task
Command

Configuring Auxiliary VLANs on Catalyst LAN Switches

These sections describe how to configure auxiliary VLANs:

Understanding Auxiliary VLANs

Auxiliary VLAN Configuration Guidelines

Configuring Auxiliary VLANs

Verifying Auxiliary VLAN Configuration

Understanding Auxiliary VLANs

You can configure switch ports to send CDP packets that instruct an attached Cisco IP Phone 7960 to transmit voice traffic to the switch in these frame types:

802.1Q frames carrying the auxiliary VLAN ID and Layer 2 CoS set to 5 (the switch port drops all 802.1Q frames except those carrying the auxiliary VLAN ID).

Reset the Cisco IP Phone 7960 if the auxiliary VLAN ID changes.

Enter the set port auxiliaryvlan mod[/port] aux_vlan_id command.


Note We recommend that you use 802.1Q frames and a separate VLAN.


802.1p frames, which are 802.1Q frames carrying VLAN ID 0 and Layer 2 CoS set to 5 (enter the set port auxiliaryvlan mod[/port] dot1p command)

802.3 frames, which are untagged and carry no VLAN ID and no Layer 2 CoS value (enter the set port auxiliaryvlan mod[/port] untagged command)


Note The Cisco IP Phone 7960 always sets Layer 3 IP precedence to 5 in voice traffic.


Auxiliary VLAN Configuration Guidelines

This section describes the guidelines for configuring auxiliary VLANs:

An auxiliary VLAN port is operationally a trunk, even though it is not treated like a "normal" trunk port. When an auxiliary VLAN is added to a port and the set dot1q-all-tagged command is enabled, the set dot1q-all-tagged command tags the native VLAN on the port where the auxiliary VLAN is configured. A port with an auxiliary VLAN configured is not viewed as a dot1q trunk in the show trunk command output, but the port acts like a dot1q trunk if the set dot1q-all-tagged command is enabled.

The IP phone and a device that is attached to the phone are in the same VLAN and must be in the same IP subnet if one of the following occurs:

They use the same frame type.

The phone uses 802.1p frames and the device uses untagged frames.

The phone uses untagged frames and the device uses 802.1p frames.

The phone uses 802.1Q frames and the auxiliary VLAN equals the native VLAN.

The IP phone and a device that is attached to the phone cannot communicate if they are in the same VLAN and subnet but use different frame types, because traffic between devices in the same subnet is not routed (routing would eliminate the frame type difference).

You cannot use switch commands to configure a frame type that is used by traffic received from a device attached to the phone's access port.

With software release 6.2(1) and later releases, dynamic ports can belong to two VLANs—a native VLAN and an auxiliary VLAN. See Chapter 18, "Configuring Dynamic Port VLAN Membership with VMPS," for configuration details for auxiliary VLANs.

Configuring Auxiliary VLANs

To configure auxiliary VLANs, perform this task in privileged mode:

Task
Command

Configure auxiliary VLANs.

set port auxiliaryvlan mod[/ports] {vlan | untagged | dot1p | none}


This example shows how to add voice ports to auxiliary VLANs, specify an encapsulation type, or specify that the VLAN will not send or receive CDP messages with voice-related information:

Console> (enable) set port auxiliaryvlan 2/1-3 222 
Auxiliaryvlan 222 configuration successful.

Console> (enable) set port auxiliaryvlan 5/7 untagged
Port 5/7 allows the connected device send and receive untagged packets and without 802.1p 
priority.
Console> (enable) set port auxiliaryvlan 5/9 dot1p
Port 5/9 allows the connected device send and receive packets with 802.1p priority.
Console> (enable) set port auxiliaryvlan 5/12 none 
Port 5/12 will not allow sending CDP packets with Voice VLAN information.
Console> (enable)

The default setting is none. Table 47-4 lists the set port auxiliaryvlan command keywords and their descriptions.

Configuring the Access Gateways

This section describes the commands that are used to configure the following Catalyst 6500 series access gateway modules:

Analog station gateway—24-port FXS analog interface module

Digital trunk gateway—8-port T1/E1 PSTN interface module

Configuring a Port Voice Interface

If DHCP is enabled for a port, the port obtains all other configuration information from the TFTP server. When disabling DHCP on a port, you must specify some mandatory parameters as follows:

If you do not specify DNS parameters, the software uses the system DNS configuration on the supervisor engine to configure the port.

8-port T1/E1 PSTN interface module only: You cannot specify more than one port at a time because a unique IP address must be set for each port.

To configure a port voice interface for DHCP, TFTP, and DNS servers, perform this task in privileged mode:

Task
Command

Configure a port voice interface for DHCP, TFTP, and DNS servers.

set port voice interface mod/port dhcp enable

Displaying Active Call Information

Enter the show port voice active command to display active call information on a port. There are up to 8 calls per port for the 8-port T1/E1 PSTN interface module but only one call per port for the 24-port FXS analog station interface module.

To display active call information, perform this task in normal mode:

Task
Command

Display active call information.

show port voice active [mod/port]
[all | call | conference | transcode] [ipaddr]


Entering the show port voice active command without any parameters shows all the calls in the system (regular calls, conference calls, and transcoding calls). Display field descriptions are as follows:

Type—The "call" notation is for 24-port FXS analog interface module and 8-port PSTN interface module calls.

When you configure 8-port T1/E1 PSTN interfaces for transcoding and/or conferencing, the Type field displays "conferencing" for conferencing calls and "transcoding" for transcoding calls.

Conference-ID, Transcoding-ID, and Party-ID are only applicable to 8-port T1/E1 PSTN interfaces that are configured for transcoding and/or conferencing.

This example shows all active calls in the system:

Configuring QoS in the Cisco IP Phone 7960

These sections describe QoS in the Cisco IP Phone 7960:

Understanding How QoS Works in the Cisco IP Phone 7960

Configuring QoS in the Cisco IP Phone 7960


Note For information on using automatic QoS, see Chapter 44, "Using Automatic QoS."



Note For information on using automatic voice configuration, see the "Using Automatic Voice Configuration" section.


Understanding How QoS Works in the Cisco IP Phone 7960


Note The Cisco IP Phone 7960 always sets the Layer 3 IP precedence and Layer 2 CoS to 5 in voice traffic generated by the phone. The Layer 3 IP precedence and Layer 2 CoS values in voice traffic generated by the phone are not configurable.


You can configure the Cisco IP Phone 7960 access port (see Figure 47-5) to either trusted or untrusted mode.

In untrusted mode, all the traffic in 802.1Q or 802.1p frames that are received through the access port is marked with a configured Layer 2 CoS value. The default Layer 2 CoS value is 0. Untrusted mode is the default when the phone is connected to a Cisco LAN switch.

In trusted mode, all traffic that is received through the access port passes through the phone switch unchanged. Trusted mode is the default when the phone is not connected to a Cisco LAN switch.

Traffic in frame types other than 802.1Q or 802.1p passes through the phone switch unchanged, regardless of the access port trust state.

QoS and Cisco IP Phone Configuration

Cisco IP Phones are directly attached to the Catalyst 6500 series switch ports. Traffic coming from the phone entering the switch is typically marked with a tag using the 802.1Q header. The header contains the VLAN information as well as the class of service (CoS) 3-bit field. The CoS determines the priority of the packet. For most Cisco IP Phone configurations, the traffic coming from the phone and entering the switch is trusted to ensure that the voice traffic is properly prioritized over other types of traffic in the network. The port on the switch where the phone is attached is configured to trust-cos, which means that the port trusts the CoS labeling of all packets arriving on that port.

QoS, Cisco IP Phone, and PC Configuration

A PC or workstation can be attached to the Cisco IP Phone. The phone has a built-in hub that mixes the traffic coming from the PC, the phone, and the switch port. To distinguish traffic coming from the PC from traffic coming from the phone, use the 3-bit CoS labels.

You need to configure QoS features on the phone for proper labeling to occur. QoS configuration information is sent to the phone using the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) from the switch. The QoS configuration determines the trust state of the phone and the classification information (Ext-Cos). The phone supports two trust states:

Trusted

Untrusted and marked with a new COS value (Ext-Cos)

If the phone is in trusted mode, all the labels that are produced by the PC are sent directly through the phone toward the switch, untouched. If the phone is in untrusted mode, all traffic coming from the PC is marked with the Ext-Cos value before it is sent to the switch.

For most setups, the PC or workstation that is attached to the phone is unable to tag its packets. In these cases, all the traffic that comes from the PC and enters the switch through the phone, is marked with the "default ext-cos" configured on the phone.

In some cases, the PC can tag its own packets. A PC running Windows 2000 can be configured to send dot1q frames of any priority. To solve this problem, the phones should be configured to be untrusted, which marks all the traffic coming from the PC to the appropriate priority.

The trusted boundary feature prevents users from taking advantage of the trust-cos setting on the switch by disconnecting their phone from the network and plugging their PC directly into the switch port. It uses CDP to detect the phone's presence on a port. If the phone leaves the port, the feature automatically configures the port to be untrusted, which solves the security issue.

The trusted boundary feature is implemented using a configuration command to create a new type of trust. The command allows you to configure port trust based on the presence of a given device on a port. For Cisco IP Phones, you configure the trust as "trust-device ciscoipphone."

Configuration Guidelines

This section describes the guidelines for configuring the trusted boundary feature:

Common Open Policy Service (COPS) considerations

COPS directly affects how QoS parameters are applied. A port may have either a local policy or a COPS policy. This setting specifies whether the port should get its QoS configuration information from the local configuration or through a COPS server. If COPS is enabled on a port and is also globally enabled, the policy that is specified by the COPS server applies. If COPS is disabled and/or the run-time policy is local, the local configuration QoS policy applies. The extended trust boundary feature overrides the "local" policy on a port.

QoS configuration support

All QoS port trust configuration settings are supported (trust-cos, trust-ipprec, trust-dscp) but you should use trust-cos for the Cisco IP Phone networks.

System log messaging

New QoS syslogs were added for the trusted boundary feature to notify you of changes to a port's trust state and to warn of improper configuration. To see these syslogs, set the QoS logging level to 5 (set logging level qos 5). The default is 3. Refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series, Catalyst 4000 Family, Catalyst 2948G, and Catalyst 2980G Switches System Message Guide publication for descriptions of the syslogs.

Final run-time port trust value

The final run-time port trust on any port is dependent on the following:

Trusted boundary feature configuration

Phone's presence on the port

QoS configuration

COPS configuration

To enable the trusted boundary feature, you must enable QoS and you must enable CDP globally and on the port, running in version 2 mode. You must set COPS to local policy (the COPS default) or to disabled (the COPS default). When ciscoipphone is configured as the trust-device on the port, the feature is enabled and detects the presence of a Cisco IP Phone and sets the trust values.

See Figure 47-6 to determine the final trust value on a port.

Configuring a Trusted Boundary

These sections describe how to configure the trusted boundary feature:

Default Configuration

Verifying a Port's Trust-Device State

Default Configuration

The default setting for all ports is trust-device none.

Specifying a Cisco IP Phone as the Trust Device

To specify a Cisco IP Phone as the trust device, perform this task in privileged mode:

Task
Command

Specify a Cisco IP Phone as the trust device.

set port qos mod/ports...trust-device [ciscoipphone | none]


This example shows how to trust only Cisco IP phones on port 4/1:

Console> (enable) set port qos 4/1 trust-device ciscoipphone
Port 4/1 set to only trust device of type ciscoIPPhone.
Console> (enable)

This example shows how to disable the device trust on port 4/1:

Console> (enable) set port qos 4/1 trust-device none
Port 4/1 trust device feature disabled.
Console> (enable)

Verifying a Port's Trust-Device State

To verify a port's trust-device state, perform this task in normal mode:

Task
Command

Verify a port's trust-device state.

show port qos [mod[/port]]


When the trusted boundary feature is active, the run-time trust state of the port changes depending on the presence of the phone.


Note The moment the phone leaves the switch port, there is a slight convergence time for the port to change to the untrusted state (a maximum time of 15 seconds).


This example shows how to verify the trust-device state and trust state on port 4/1:

Console> (enable) show port qos 4/1

Using Automatic Voice Configuration

Automatic voice configuration consists of two macros that simplify voice configuration on the Catalyst 6500 series switches. The automatic voice configuration macros cover all the voice configuration tasks required for implementing the recommended Architecture for Voice, Video, and Integrated Data (AVVID) settings for a voice port.

Automatic voice configuration focuses on the voice networks that are built using the Cisco IP Phone 79xx series and the Cisco SoftPhone. With automatic voice configuration, you use the ciscoipphone or ciscosoftphone keywords to initiate macros that specify the type of voice parameters that you desire on a particular port.

Automatic voice configuration is described in these sections:

Understanding Automatic Voice Configuration Macros

Automatic Voice Configuration—Cisco IP Phone

Automatic Voice Configuration—Cisco Softphone

Automatic Voice Configuration Guidelines and Restrictions

CLI Interface for Automatic Voice Configuration

Detailed Automatic Voice Configuration Statements

How to Use Automatic Voice Configuration in Your Network

Understanding Automatic Voice Configuration Macros

When you execute the automatic voice configuration macros on a port using the ciscoipphone or ciscosoftphone keywords, the following features are implemented:

The port is enabled.

The Layer 2 protocol is disabled for CDP, STP, and VTP.

The port membership is set to "static."

The set port host command is executed on the port.

The specified data VLAN is associated with the port.

The global automatic QoS command is executed.

When you execute the ciscoipphone keyword on a port, in addition to the previous features, the following features are also implemented:

The specified auxiliary VLAN is associated with the port.

Inline power is enabled.

CDP is enabled globally and on the port.

CDP is configured to version v2.

The port-based automatic QoS command for the Cisco IP phone is executed.

When you execute the ciscosoftphone keyword on a port, in addition to the previous features, the following features are also implemented:

The auxiliary VLAN for the port is set to "none."

The port-based automatic QoS command for the Cisco SoftPhone is executed.

Automatic Voice Configuration—Cisco IP Phone

In most configurations, the Cisco IP Phone 79xx is connected directly to the Catalyst switch port. Optionally, you can attach a PC to the phone and use the phone as a hop to the switch.

Typically, the traffic that comes from the phone and enters the switch is marked with a tag using the 802.1Q/p header. The header contains the VLAN information and the CoS 3-bit field. The CoS determines the priority of the packet. The switch uses the CoS field to distinguish the PC traffic from the phone traffic. The switch can also use the DSCP field for the same purpose.

In most Cisco IP Phone 79xx configurations, the traffic that comes from the phone and enters the switch is trusted. You set the port trust to trust-cos to properly prioritize the voice traffic over other types of traffic in the network.

The Cisco IP Phone 79xx has a built-in switch that mixes the traffic that comes from the PC, the phone, and the switch port. The Cisco IP Phone 79xx has trust and classification capabilities that you need to configure.

Ports that connect the IP phones need to have several features enabled or disabled. Automatic voice configuration ensures that the necessary features are enabled. Most of these features are implemented when you execute the set port host command (such as disabling channels, enabling PortFast, and so on). A VLAN and an auxiliary VLAN must be configured on the port for QoS to work. Inline power needs to be enabled (if available) and CDP must be enabled for the trusted boundary feature to work. QoS configuration is handled by the automatic QoS feature (see Chapter 44, "Using Automatic QoS").

Automatic Voice Configuration—Cisco Softphone

The Cisco SoftPhone is a software product that runs on a standard PC and emulates an IP phone. The main difference between the Cisco SoftPhone and the Cisco IP Phone 79xx is that the Cisco SoftPhone marks its voice traffic through a DSCP, while the Cisco IP Phone 79xx marks its traffic through a CoS. The QoS settings on the switch accommodate this behavior by trusting the Layer 3 marking of the traffic entering the port. All other behavior is similar to the Cisco IP Phone 79xx. Features such as CDP do not need to be enabled because the trusted boundary feature does not support Cisco SoftPhone.

Automatic Voice Configuration Guidelines and Restrictions

These sections provide the configuration guidelines and restrictions for automatic voice configuration:

Supported Phones

CDP Dependencies

EtherChannel Considerations

PFC/PFC2 Support

Module Support

Supported Phones

When you use automatic voice configuration with the ciscoipphone keyword, some of the QoS configuration requires phone-specific configuration (trust-ext, ext-cos) which is supported only on the following phones: Cisco IP Phone 7910, Cisco IP Phone 7940, Cisco IP Phone 7960, and Cisco IP Phone 7935. However, the ciscoipphone keyword is not exclusive to these models only; any phone can benefit from all the other QoS settings that are configured on the switch.

Cisco SoftPhone is supported through the ciscoipsoftphone keyword.

CDP Dependencies

To configure the QoS settings and the trusted boundary feature on the Cisco IP Phone, you must enable Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) version 2 or later on the port.

You need to enable CDP only for the ciscoipphone QoS configuration; CDP does not affect the other components of the automatic voice configuration feature.

EtherChannel Considerations

The automatic voice configuration commands do not support channeling.

PFC/PFC2 Support

No PFC or PFC2 is required for the ciscoipphone keyword. A PFC or PFC2 is required for the ciscosoftphone keyword.

Module Support

The ciscoipphone keyword is only supported on 10/100- and 10/100/1000-Ethernet ports.

The ciscosoftphone keyword is supported on all Ethernet ports.

CLI Interface for Automatic Voice Configuration
