Cisco 2960 POE switch voice vlan configuration to work with Shoretel phone equipment

[jb5396]

Can someone please help me to provide a sample Voice Vlan configuration for the Cisco 2960 POE switch to work with the Non-Cisco IP Phones?  Thank you. 

Will these commands work?  Vlan 2 is the new voice vlan, Vlan 1 is the data vlan.

mls qos

interface fastethernet 0/1
mls qos trust cos
switchport nonegotiate
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport voice vlan 2
priority−queue out
spanning-tree portfast
spanning−tree bpduguard enable

vlan 2
name voice

switchport mode trunk

Depends on what the ShoreTel phone requires.  This command means that the port is a dot1Q trunk and therefore the second line:

switchport voice vlan 2

This line is useless if your switchport is dot1Q.

From my experience; I'll say there is no config-template for non-Cisco IP Phones...I installed Nortel, Avaya and recently 3coms...and all them use a differente config on the Cisco switch...Most of the times the port has to be configured as trunks, but other parameters may vary. I even ran into the case of PoE was burning the ports of some Nortel IP Phones...

Bottomline, my recommendation is to go to the webpage of the phone's manufacturer and get the config guidelines...It always worked out for me.

In the Cisco.com site, you may find also some config guidelines for certain phone brands, but not for each brand in the market.
