Are VLANs on Catalyst WS-C2960-24PC-L and Switch Cisco SG300-28 Compatibles?

[arminherrera]

Hi,

Is it possible to configure both Catalyst WS-C2960-24PC-L and Switch Cisco SG300-28 to work together for VLANs for voice and data ? If yes, can you give me the resources which I can refer to ?

[Reza Sharifi]

WS-C2960-24PC-L can be used for data and voice sine it is POE switch.

SG300-28 doesn't appear to be a POE switch. So only data.

Hi,

The WS-C2960-24PC-L can be used for data and voice sine it is POE switch.

If I use the SG300-28P that it´s a POE switch.

Can I pass vlan from voice and data from Catalyst to SG300 y vs?

Hi Armin,

Yes SG300-28P is the POE switch.

I am not sure what exactly you mean by your second question but anyway yes both voice and data vlan are supported on this switch.

Hi, I have no idea why anyone is associating POE with the capability to pass voice traffic... but that is certainly not the question being asked nor is it a valid point since POE has nothing to do with a voice vlan passing....

The answer is yes, these switches can work together. The SG300 supports 802.1q and not VTP. When configuring the SG300 you have to specify a native vlan and the tagged vlans on the port.

If your 2960 has a LLDP or Voice policy through CDP, the SG300 is capable to pick up this configuration through its smart port macros.

Here are is a topic where I configured a 2960 to feed LLDP configuration to a SG300-52
