This chapter describes how to configure a Voice-over-IP (VoIP) network. While this chapter introduces a number of Cisco networking products related to VoIP, the primary focus of the chapter is to provide configuration information for integrating Catalyst 6000 family products into your VoIP network.
This chapter consists of these sections:
The software and hardware requirements for the Catalyst switches and Cisco CallManager are as follows:
A telephony system built on an IP network instead of the traditional circuit-switched Private Branch Exchange (PBX) is called an IP PBX system. Figure 36-1 shows an IP PBX system; the individual components of this system are described in these sections:
The Cisco IP Phone 7960 provides connectivity to the IP PBX system. The IP phone has two RJ-45 jacks for connecting to external devices, a LAN-to-phone jack and a PC-to-phone jack. The jacks use either Category 3 or Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable. The LAN-to-phone jack is used to connect the phone to the LAN using a crossover cable; a workstation or a PC can be connected to the PC-to-phone jack using a straight-through cable.
The IP phone is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) capable, providing mobility with a plug-and-play capability, and optionally, the IP phone can be programmed with a static IP address.
The IP phone can be powered by the following sources:
Examples 1 through 4 in Figure 36-2 show the various ways to connect the Cisco IP Phone 7960 and PCs to the Catalyst switch.
Example 1 shows one IP phone connected to the 10/100 port on the Catalyst switch. The PC-to-phone jack on the phone is not used. The phone can be powered through either the 10/100 port or wall-powered.
Example 2 shows one PC connected to the 10/100 port on the Catalyst switch. The PC is wall-powered.
Example 3 shows one IP phone connected to the 10/100 port on the Catalyst switch and one PC connected to the PC-to-phone jack on the phone. The PC behaves as if it is connected directly to the 10/100 port on the Catalyst switch. The phone can be powered through the 10/100 port or wall-powered. The PC must be wall-powered.
Example 4 shows two IP phones connected to the 10/100 port on the Catalyst switch and one PC connected to the PC-to-phone jack on the phone. The PC behaves as if it is connected directly to the 10/100 port on the Catalyst switch. The first phone can be powered through the 10/100 port or wall-powered. The second phone and the PC must be wall-powered.

Note For information on configuring Cisco IP phones and third-party vendor phones, refer to the documentation that shipped with the phone. |
Cisco CallManager is an open and industry-standard call processing system---the nerve center of the IP PBX system. Cisco CallManager software runs on a Windows NT server and sets up and tears down calls between phones, integrating traditional PBX functionality with the corporate IP network. Cisco CallManager manages the components of the IP PBX system, the phones, access gateways, and the resources necessary for such features as call conferencing and media mixing. Each
Cisco CallManager manages the devices within its zone and exchanges information with the
Cisco CallManager in charge of another zone to make calls possible across multiple zones. Additionally, Cisco CallManager can work with existing PBX systems to route a call over the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).

Note For information on configuring Cisco CallManager to work with the IP devices described in this chapter, refer to the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide, Release 3.0, the Configuration Notes for Cisco CallManager Release 3.0, and the Cisco CallManager v3.0 Remote Serviceability Users Guide publications. |
Access gateways allow the IP PBX system to talk to existing PSTN or PBX systems. Access gateways consist of analog station gateways, analog trunk gateways, digital trunk gateways, and a converged voice gateway.
The Catalyst 6000 family 24-port Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) analog interface module allows plain old telephone service (POTS) phones and fax machines to connect to the IP PBX network. The analog station gateway behaves like the PSTN side for the POTS equipment. It requires an IP address, is registered with Cisco CallManager in its domain, and is managed by Cisco CallManager.
The 24-port FXS analog interface module features are listed in Table 36-1.
To configure the analog station interfaces, see the "Catalyst Switch Configuration Procedures" section. To configure the interfaces to work with Cisco CallManager, refer to the
Cisco CallManager Administration Guide, Release 3.0 publication.

Cisco access analog trunk gateways allow the IP PBX to connect to the PSTN or PBX. The gateway supports up to eight trunks to the PSTN and appears like a phone to the trunk lines coming from the PSTN. Using this gateway, the IP PBX places an IP call through the PSTN. Similar to the analog station gateway, the analog trunk gateway provides line echo cancellation, dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) tone generation and detection. The analog trunk gateway does not provide ring voltage as it is not connected to POTS end devices such as POTS-phones or fax machines. The analog trunk gateway requires an IP address, is registered with Cisco CallManager in its domain, and is managed by Cisco CallManager.
To configure the analog trunk gateways, refer to the documentation that shipped with the gateway. To configure the interfaces to work with Cisco CallManager, refer to the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide, Release 3.0 publication.
The Catalyst 6000 family 8-port T1/E1 PSTN interface module is a high-density, eight port, T1/E1 VoIP module that can support both digital T1/E1 connectivity to the PSTN or transcoding and conferencing. It requires an IP address, is registered with Cisco CallManager in its domain, and is managed by Cisco CallManager.
The module software is downloaded from a TFTP server. Depending upon which software you download, the ports can serve as T1/E1 interfaces or the ports will support transcoding and conferencing. Transcoding and conferencing functions are mutually exclusive. For every transcoding port in use, there will be one less conferencing port available and vice versa.
To configure the 8-port T1/E1 PSTN interfaces, see the "Catalyst Switch Configuration Procedures" section. To configure the interfaces to work with Cisco CallManager, refer to the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide, Release 3.0 publication.
The 8-port T1/E1 PSTN interface module features are listed in Table 36-2.

The Cisco Voice Gateway 200 (VG200) allows you to connect standard POTS phones (connected directly to the gateway or anywhere on the PSTN) with Cisco IP or any H.323-compliant telephony devices. When used with Cisco CallManager, the VG200 functions as a Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) gateway. The Cisco VG200 Gateway provides a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port for connection to the data network. The following telephony connections are also available:
These ports can be used to integrate a VoIP network with POTS devices, PBXs, or the PSTN.
To configure the Cisco VG200 Gateway, refer to the documentation that shipped with the gateway. To configure the interfaces to work with Cisco CallManager, refer to the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide, Release 3.0 publication.
An IP phone is connected to a LAN either through a hub port or a switch port. The IP phone boots up and uses DHCP to get its IP address and the IP address of its TFTP file server. The IP phone uses its IP address to talk to the TFTP server and gets its configuration file. The configuration file has information including the IP address of the phone's Cisco CallManager(s). The phone then talks with Cisco CallManager and registers itself. Each time a phone boots up, it might get a different IP address. Cisco CallManager knows how to associate a consistent user phone number to a particular phone by using the MAC address of the phone. Cisco CallManager always maintains a table mapping the "phone MAC address" and "phone number." Each time a phone registers, the table is updated with the new IP address. During registration, Cisco CallManager downloads the key pad template and the feature capability for the phone. It also tells the phone which run-time image it should use. The phone then goes to the TFTP server to get its run-time image. Each phone has a dedicated TCP connection to Cisco CallManager called the "control channel." All control information, such as key pressing, goes from the phone to Cisco CallManager through this channel. Instructions to generate ring tone, busy tone, and so on comes from Cisco CallManager to the phone through this channel.
Cisco CallManager stores the IP-address-to-phone-number mapping (and vice versa) in its tables. When a user wants to call another user, the user keys in the called party's phone number.
Cisco CallManager translates the phone number to an IP address and generates an IP packet version of ring tone to the called IP phone through the TCP connection. When the called IP phone receives the packet, it generates a ring tone. When the user picks up the phone, Cisco CallManager instructs the called IP phone to start talking with the calling party and removes itself from the loop. From this point on, the call goes between the two IP phones through the Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) which runs over User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Because voice packets are sensitive to delays, TCP is not suitable for voice transmission as timeouts and retries increase the delay between packets. When any change occurs during the call due to a feature being pressed on one of the phones, or one of the users hanging up or pressing the flash button, the information goes to Cisco CallManager through the control channel.
If a call is made to a number outside of the IP PBX network, Cisco CallManager routes the call to an analog or digital trunk gateway which in turn routes it to the PSTN.
This section describes native VLANs and auxiliary VLANs. This section uses the following terminology:
Figure 36-3 shows how a Cisco IP Phone 7960 can be connected to a Catalyst switch.

When the IP phone is connected to a 10/100 port on the Catalyst switch, the access port (PC-to-phone jack) of the IP phone can be used to connect a PC.
Packets to and from the PC and to and from the phone share the same physical link to the switch and the same port of the switch. Various configurations of connecting the phone and the PC are possible (see the "Cisco IP Phone 7960" section).
Introducing IP-based phones into existing switch-based networks raises the following issues:
These issues can be solved by isolating the voice traffic onto a separate VLAN on each of the ports connected to a phone. The switch port configured for connecting a phone would have separate VLANs configured for carrying:
Isolating the phones on a separate, auxiliary VLAN increases the quality of the voice traffic and allows a large number of phones to be added to an existing network where there are not enough IP addresses. A new VLAN means a new subnet and a new set of IP addresses.
This section describes the command-line interface (CLI) commands used to configure the Catalyst switch for VoIP operation. This section provides the following descriptions and configuration procedures:

Note CDP must be enabled on the Catalyst switch port connected to the IP phone in order to communicate information such as auxiliary VLAN ID, per-port power management details, and QoS configuration information. |

This section describes per-port power management and the CLI commands used to configure power management for IP phones.
![]() |
Note To determine the exact power requirements for your configuration to ensure that you are within the system power budget, see the "Determining System Power Requirements" section. |
For each IP phone connected to the WS-X6348-RJ45V module, the supervisor engine software allocates part of the available system power to power up and run the phone. The power can be applied on an individual port basis.
Only one IP phone can be powered per port; the phone must be connected directly to the switch port. If a second phone is daisy chained off the phone connected to the switch port, the second phone cannot be powered by the switch.
This section describes the following:
There are three versions of the Catalyst 6000 family 48-port 10/100BaseTX Ethernet switching module; each version has a unique product number:
When you enter the show module command, the WS-X6348 modules both display as WS-X6348-RJ-45 in the "Model" field. To determine if the module has a voice daughter card installed, look at the "Sub" field. For example, in the following display the 10/100BaseTX module in slot 8 does not have a voice daughter card, while the module in slot 9 does have a voice daughter card.
Note that further down in the show module display there is a submodule field that provides information about submodules. The EARL daughter card is treated as a submodule while the MSFC internal router is not treated as a submodule. The model number for the voice daughter card, as shown in the display, is WS-F6K-VPWR.

Each port is configured through the CLI, SNMP, or a configuration file to be in one of the following modes (configured through set port inlinepower CLI command):
Each port also has a status, defined as:
When an unpowered phone is discovered on a switching module port, the switching module reports to the supervisor engine that an unpowered phone is present and on which module/port. If the port is configured in Auto mode, the supervisor engine determines if there is enough available system power to allow the switching module to power up and run the phone. If there is sufficient power, the supervisor engine removes the default allocated power required by a phone from the total available system power and then sends a message to the switching module instructing it to provide power to the port. If there is not enough available power for the phone, the supervisor engine sends a message to the switching module indicating that power is denied to the port.
After power is applied to the port, the supervisor engine monitors the port to ensure that the link comes up. If the link does not come up within 4 seconds, the supervisor engine instructs the switching module to turn power off. The entire cycle is then repeated, and the switching module performs discovery and reports to the supervisor engine if a device is present on the port.
IP phones might have different power requirements. The supervisor engine initially allocates the configured default of 7W (167 mA at 42V) to the phone, and then when the correct amount of power is determined from the CDP messaging with the phone, the supervisor engine reduces or increases the allocated power.
For example, the default allocated power is set to 10.5W (250mA at 42V). An IP phone requiring 125mA is plugged into a port. The supervisor engine allocates 250mA for the phone and powers it up. Once the phone is operational, it informs the supervisor engine through a CDP message that the actual power required is 125mA. The supervisor engine increases the allocated power to 125mA.
The amount of power to allocate by default is configurable through the CLI or SNMP.
When a wall-powered phone is present on a switching module port, the switching module cannot detect its presence. The supervisor engine discovers the phone through CDP messaging with the port. If the phone supports inline power (the supervisor engine determines this through CDP), and the mode is set to Auto or Off, the supervisor engine does not attempt to power on the port. If there is a power outage and the mode is set to Auto, the phone will lose power, but the switching module will discover the phone and inform the supervisor engine, which then applies inline power to the phone.
The supervisor engine can turn off power to a specific port by sending a message to the switching module. That power is then added back to the available system power. This only occurs when you power off the phone through the CLI or SNMP.
The switching module informs the supervisor engine if a powered phone is removed using a link-down message. The supervisor engine then adds the allocated power for that port back to the available system power.
The switching module also informs the supervisor engine if an unpowered phone is removed.
![]() |
Caution When a phone cable is plugged into a port and power is turned on, the supervisor engine has a 4-second timeout waiting for the link to go up on the line. During those 4 seconds, if the phone cable is unplugged and a network device is plugged in, the device could be damaged. We recommend that you wait at least 10 seconds between unplugging a device and plugging in a new device. |
To support high availability during a failover from the active supervisor engine to the standby supervisor engine, the per-port power management and phone status information is synchronized between the active and standby supervisor engines.
The information to be synchronized (on a per-port basis) is the presence of a phone, the phone power status (on, off, denied, or faulty), and the amount of power consumed by the phone. The active supervisor engine sends this information to the standby supervisor engine and the standby supervisor engine updates its internal data structures. When a switchover occurs, the standby supervisor engine allocates power to the modules and ports from the available power, one module at a time. Once the power for each module has been allocated, the supervisor engine allocates power to the phones, beginning with the lowest slot number, until all inline powered ports have been either powered on, off, or denied.
Figure 36-4 shows how the system detects a phone connected to a Catalyst switch port.
This section describes how the Catalyst 6000 family switch handles fault detection and errors related to per-port power management.
The supervisor engine detects that the device is powered but the link is not up by setting a timeout when the switching module is directed to power up the device. If the timeout occurs and the supervisor engine has not received a "link up" for the port, the following syslog message is displayed:
1999 Jul 14 10:05:58 %SYS-5-PORT_DEVICENOLINK: Device on Port 4/7 powered, no link up.
The supervisor engine also directs the switching module to power off the port. The switching module then performs discovery again on the port.
The switching module detects when there is a problem providing inline power to the device and reports this to the supervisor engine. The following syslog message is displayed:
1999 Jul 14 10:05:58 %SYS-5-PORT_INLINEPWRFLTY: Port 4/7 reporting inline power as faulty.
The supervisor engine keeps track of the available power left in the system and will not power up any ports if there is no available power remaining. The following syslog message is displayed:
1999 Jul 14 10:05:58 %SYS-5-PORT_NOPOWERAVAIL: Device on Port 4/7 will remain unpowered.
The supervisor engine informs the switching module that power to the port is denied.
Depending upon the number and type of modules in the chassis, some modules might need to be powered off to prevent overdrawing power from the power supply. The supervisor engine first powers off and reallocates the power supplied by the ports and then starts the process of powering off and reallocating the power used by the module.
Once a module that was powered down due to lack of power is powered up and comes online, the module begins discovery on the ports to determine the presence of unpowered connected devices (phones). The module reports discovered devices to the supervisor engine, which then directs the switching module to power up the device (if the port is configured to do so).
For modules that are already powered on, but have devices connected that are power denied, the supervisor engine attempts to power on the devices starting with the lowest numbered slot to the highest numbered slot, and from the lowest port number to the highest port number, one module at a time.
