Technical Whys
Desktop Configuration
•switchport port-security
Turn on port level MAC address security
•switchport port-security maximum 1 (or 3 for phones)
If port security is turned on, the default number of allowed MAC addresses is 1. For an IP phone, we need 3 – one for
the workstation, one for the phone on the voice VLAN and one for the phone on the native VLAN for Cisco® Discovery
Protocol.
•switchport port-security aging type inactivity
“Unlearn” MAC addresses once they have not been used for a while. The type of “inactivity” is needed for Cisco
Discovery Protocol from IP phones to be stable. During the MAC relearn process, packets can become out-of-order or
dropped. Using type “inactivity” helps prevent this after a MAC address is learned – especially for voice traffic.
•switchport port-security aging time 2
Two minutes is the shortest time possible and not have keep-alive problems with Cisco Discovery Protocol.
Also, IP phones do not signal the switch when a workstation is unplugged. Without specifying an aging time, the MAC
address would never age out.
•switchport port-security violation restrict
Do not take the port down when a violation occurs. Instead, allow the MAC addresses that we have already seen to
continue working. All other traffic is dropped. Necessary with IP phones.
•default interface
Used to return the interface to a known configuration state

Desktop Configuration (continued)
•spanning-tree portfast
This allows the port to pass traffic soon after the port
becomes active – without waiting for spanning tree (~3 sec)
•spanning-tree bpduguard enable
Disable the port if a switch or bridge is attached to this
port. Inhibits errant network topologies and rogue
switches.

Technical Whys
Cisco IOS Switch Uplink
•switchport nonegotiate
This command speeds up convergence times but if issued
before both sides of the trunk have been configured for
802.1q can cause the port to shut down. The default trunk
type is ISL on many switches. When the trunk is up and
configured for 802.1q, the “switchport nonegotiate” can
safely be entered
•switchport trunk allowed VLAN [data,voice,native]
This provides absolute control over which VLANs this
switch will accept.
