We are trying to connect Aastra 6737i phones to a Cisco 4507 switch. The phone system has its own router connect to the Cisco switch and the router is also acting as the dhcp server for the phones. The PC's will be plugged into the phones and will need to go into the data vlan. Here is where we have an issue:
Data Vlan: 100 172.25.1.0/24
Voice Vlan: 10 10.20.10.0/24
From what all i have read about Aastra phones we should be ussing lldp for these phones. We have issues the lldp run command on the switch. When we use the following configuration which is recommended. The phone never gets an ip from the dhcp server running on the voice router and there is not connectivity:
interface GigabitEthernet6/4
switchport access vlan 100
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan 10
spanning-tree portfast
end
With using this configuration and issues the show lldp neighbors Gig6/4 det command you can see that the network policy cleary states the voice vlan as 10 put we are unable to ping the phone:
sh lldp neighbors gigabitEthernet 6/4 det

The only way we can get the phones to come up and grab the correct ip and stay online is to trunk the port and allow only the voice vlan. This does not help because now the pc's will not work. We can add the vlan 100 to the allowed list and the phones still work but not the pc's. They try to come up in the native vlan which is 1 and it is shutdown. When we issue the switchport trunk native vlan using either 10 or 100 the phones no longer work. Here is the configuration that allows the phones to work:
interface GigabitEthernet6/4
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10
switchport mode trunk
spanning-tree portfast
ping 10.20.10.11
Type escape sequence to abort.

The phone vendor stated the do have the configuration on the phone tagging its packets to vlan 10. Any ideas as to why this does not work with the switchport access mode and stating the voice vlan in the interface configuration?
