Hi There!
I want to configure a Cisco 3650 which will have to be connected directly with ISP and it's ports' will be used to distribute network among Cisco IP phones, few systems and several Aruba WAPs.
I'm still learning and not aware of the proper configurations. it would be great if someone can help me with it.
Thanks,
Raghav

so the switch , the user access ports should be set like this as example
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/11
description Voice & Data
switchport access vlan 10
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan 11
spanning-tree portfast
spanning-tree bpduguard enable
end
Uplink can be set like this
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/11
description uplink to ISP router
switchport mode trunk
end
If you want qos the easiest way to enable it is under access and trunk connections set ...auto qos trust voip as your using multi vendor equipment
Are they Aruba RAPs or WAPS , the r being remote aps coming back to central controller over WAN ? they will modt likely need to be trunk as well with spanning-tree portfast trunk

Just a few additional notes, on what Mark has posted.
Is your ISP providing you just one or multiple networks? If just one network, you would only need to use one VLAN for you hosts, and you would configure hosts ports without a voice VLAN and your uplink port wouldn't be a trunk.
If multiple networks, your VoIP phones would need to support using the voice VLAN. If not, you may need to configure some ports in just the data VLAN and some ports in just the voice VLAN.
Mark shows enabling portfast and bpduguard on host ports, which is typical (and often a good thing), but some Cisco switches allow setting these as global options (which reduces configuration clutter somewhat, and also avoids forgetting to set it on host ports).
For the uplink trunk port, you might want to define the encapsulation mode as dot1q.
Mark also mentions the Aruba might need their ports defined as trunks. This too assumes your ISP is providing/supporting multiple networks, but even if they do, some WAPs will tunnel back to their controller, and their edge port only needs to be configured as just another host port.
Lastly, your 3650 is a L3 switch. If you do have multiple LAN networks, and you expect to pass traffic between your local hosts, on different networks, the 3650 might be able route between your networks much, much faster than the ISP router. Using it that way, though, may require coordination with your ISP.

You can refer configuration guides on the mentioned link for 3650.
