With Cisco phones and switches, what is the proper way to set up the switch to allow a PC and phone at the same time, so that both the PC and phone work?

EXPLANATION

Switchport mode access
switchport access vlan (data)
switchport voice (voice vlan)
spanning-tree portfast

CDP will figure out if it is a phone or not and allow clients plugged in behind the phone (through the phone) to use the data vlan


The switch uses CDP to identify the other device as a ip phone and will automatically place that traffic on the voice vlan.  If this is not a Cisco phone you will have hardcode the phone to tag its traffic as vlan x.
