Absolutely. That one surprised me also. :) From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Micheal Espinola Jr Sent: Friday, March 6, 2015 11:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] vlan on single port
I'm not discounting that the connectivity comments arent good - but I was surprised to hear that a network connectivity drop/reset would trigger a PC reboot. I want to take note of any phone that can cause that. -- Espi On Fri, Mar 6, 2015 at 7:28 AM, Michael B. Smith <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Melvin's comments are good ones. I do know that higher-end Cisco and PolyCom phones don't have those restrictions. "phone reset" causes loss of network connectivity for the PC - this is because of a PORT reset on the switch. Make sure the port is specified as a client port ("portfast" on Cisco) so that the port doesn't participate in STP calculations. At least, this was true in my experience, your mileage may vary.

I don't recommend it however. There are a couple of common issues they will run into if they piggy back things. When the phone resets (for any reason) you'll lose network connectivity on the PC. In some cases we see it actually cause a PC reboot which I've yet to understand, but it can be reproduced. On some (most?) phone sets, the network port is 100MB instead of GB, so you may end up restricting network throughput by doing this. Some phones have GB ports, normally the higher end ones, and that will obviously be equipment specific, but it's something to watch for. -- There are 10 kinds of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

Is it possible to vlan off the same drop/port ?
