Do NOT set this port into a trunk port. This is exactly what I was looking for and I found the follwing information in a book.
1) Configuring this link as a trunk gives us the advantage of creating a voice VLAN that will carry nothing but voice traffic while allowing the highest Quality of Service Possible, giving the delay-sensitive voice traffic priority over “regular” data handled by the switch.
2) Configuring the link as an access link results in voice and data traffic being carried in the same VLAN, which can lead to delivery problems with the voice traffic. The problem isn’t that the voice traffic will not get to the switch – it simply may take too long. Voice traffic is much more delay-sensitive than data traffic.
Could you elaborate pros and cons of the above 2 settings in detail. If you can provide some URL's is also fine.
My understanding is that when it's a trunk port, it carries all vlan traffic. Will it not put extra burden on the every link since every port is a trunk port? How is it different from other trunk ports like uplinks between the 2 switches? What is the Cisco's recommendation?
