"switchport voice vlan xxx" - strange behavior on C3750 stack

[Calin C.]

Hello!

I have one stack made of 2 x C3750 and access port configuration looks like this on all access ports:

switchport access vlan 10
switchport mode access
switchport nonegotiate
switchport voice vlan 666
no logging event link-status
no logging event power-inline-status
no snmp trap link-status
no cdp enable
spanning-tree portfast
spanning-tree bpduguard enable

Now, vlan 10 is the data vlan, and vlan 666 is the voice one...you probably understood this already.

Then I have the following configuration:

stack (one of this 2 switches) -> IP phone -> PC

On one of the switches is working fine, on the other one not:

WORKING:

sh mac address-table int fa2/0/6
          Mac Address  Table
-------------------------------------------

Vlan    Mac Address       Type        Ports
----    -----------        --------    -----
  10    0013.728d.435a    DYNAMIC     Fa2/0/6
666     0001.e32c.7297    DYNAMIC     Fa2/0/6

NOT WORKING:

sh mac address-table int fa1/0/14
          Mac Address  Table
-------------------------------------------

Vlan    Mac Address       Type        Ports
----    -----------        --------    -----
  10    0001.e32c.7266    DYNAMIC     Fa1/0/14
  10     0019.bb58.0189    DYNAMIC     Fa1/0/14

So, the same IP Phone + switch works fine on every port in the switch 2 in the stack, but not in switch 1 on the same stack.

You see that on the 1st switch, both devices are taking the same VLAN 10. Mac-addresses starting with 0001 are the IP Phones.

Before asking about power inline:

sh power inline fa1/0/14

                            (Watts)

Is there something so obvious that I don't see, or the first C3750 in stack is going crazy?

Thanks!

OK, I have found the solution!

Actually it wasn't related to the switch port / network configuration. Maybe and important fact that I forgot to mention is that the IP phone and the PC client are getting IP addresses through DHCP. Guess what? The scope was full in the client range.

That was the problem!

Thanks all who had a look into this issue!

P.S. If some forum admin can mark this question as solved, it will be great. I cannot do it for my own reply!

Hello Calin,

don't worry about the solved flag you have found yourself  the root cause of your issue and you have been kind to provide it.

Best Regards

Thank you for these kind words!

I usually try to provide the solutions if I found them, because I know from own experience what pain can it be when you do a search, find the topic of your interest, but no solution.

Cheers,

Calin
