I have a query regarding "VLAN 0". What is this VLAN 0 and is that configurable in a swich? Please through some light on this


Actually it's quite simple. Voice traffic must have a CoS applied to it to give priority over data, the layer 2 CoS is 802.1p which resides WITHIN the 802.1q header. Some devices are configured WITHOUT 802.1q frame tagging for vlans, however without dot1q, you cannot have dot1p, so therefore if you configure access ports where the phone(voice) and pc(data) reside on the same vlan, with no explicit configuration for a voice vlan, the phone will tag the voice frame with dot1q and insert a vlan of zero telling the switch they are only using dot1p and that the frame belongs to the native vlan
