VoIP with catalyst 2950g

wiltzlan

Level 1

Hello,

I'm having an issue getting a VoIP phone to work on an old 2950g (IOS 12.1(6)) switch.  I have configured the VLAN and the phone is able to get an IP address in the correct subnet.  However, the phone doesn't register.  When I plug the phone into another switch, the phone registers.  Any help is appreciated.

Here's the config from the switch (Vlan269 is the voice vlan):

Current configuration : 2369 bytes

Not familiar with the 2950 switches, but you may have to configure the port with a voice VLAN and as a trunk. I know this was the case in the older 3550 switches. See the attached link:

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/catalyst-2950-series-switches/113260-voice-vlan-00.html

The document does state that "By default, a switch port drops any tagged frames in hardware", which would explain what you are experiencing.

That was it.  Thanks.  I trunked the port and the phone came right up.  Thanks again.
