Routing questions?? 2

[namesrhard2pick]

I apologize in advance if this is not the right forum for my question.

I currently have a VoIP solution in one of my offices. There is a single CAT5E from the desk to the Cisco switch that handles both voice and data from the end user. Voice and Data traverse over the same circuit to the outside world. We would like to separate the voice and data in the near future.

How do I do this if I only have a single CAT5E bringing both voice and data to the switch? We don't want to spend money on installing a second cable to 100+ workstations. The voice will go over an MPLS circuit and the data will go over broadband internet connection.

Thanks.

do you have separate vlans for the voice and data??

Currently its a single vlan since I am dealing with a single cable. Can a switch port be in multiple vlans? I am thinking no.

Thanks

im thinking you are right switch port is layer 1 and vlan is layer 2

Yes a cisco switchport can be in a data vlan and a voice vlan.

switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 10
switchport voice vlan 20

If your running a cisco voip solution most cisco phones have a pc port on the back of the phone to piggy back off of.

You can use policy based routing to seperate your traffic over different circuits.

You can also set each interface up as a trunk port to carry multiple vlans---this is commonly done in L3 PoE switches---the cable goes into the phone, trunking both the voice vlan and data vlan, and you can then connect a cable from the phone to the computer.

Yeah the way I described is still a trunk (really a psuedo trunk) or an implied trunk.
