Explanation:
Trust Boundaries:
When connected by a single cable, the IP phone is the edge of the managed network. An
integral part of the Cisco network design architecture has always been the classification, or
coloring, of traffic as close to the edge of the network as possible. As such, the IP phone can
and should classify traffic flows.
Try to maintain the trust boundary in the wiring closet. If necessary, move it down to the
distribution layer on a case-by-case basis, but avoid moving it to the core of the network.
This advice conforms to the general guidelines for keeping the trust boundary as close to the
source as possible.
By default, Cisco IP phones mark all VoIP traffic with CoS=5 and DSCP=46. However, it is
critical to make sure that the PC connected to the access port of the IP phone is not also
classifying traffic. The recommended method for ensuring this is to extend the trust boundary
of the Ethernet switch to the IP phone and not beyond, meaning the IP phone will re-classify
all traffic coming from the PC with CoS=0.
