By default, ports are configured to trust the incoming user priority. So for your connections from switch to switch you can set those ports to Trunk mode, there is no need to set them to general mode with voice vlan, etc.  switchport mode trunk switchport trunk allowed vlan add 5,10, 100 switchport trunk native vlan 100 For ease of deployment, I suggest making all the other ports general mode.  switchport mode general switchport general allowed vlan add 5,10 switchport general pvid 10 voice vlan 5 With the general mode configuration you can plug a client or a phone, or both at the same time, into a port. this will make things easy if later on you decide to plug a phone in where a client used to reside.
Hi all, I am new here and also new to working with Dell Networking equipment. I just need some clarification of the configuration of a new network I am setting. We are using 3 N2048 switches for access to VoIP and data. Each port will only have a only a phone or a client PC in different vlans. My question is what is the best configuration across all three switched to make sure we have the optimal configuration for QoS for the VoIP phones. Below is the configuration I have come up with so far.
