Configuring Cisco switchport for IP Phone

Similar to the earlier scenario, where we want a switchport as a trunk port for AP, we can configure the switchport to work with IP Phones. An additional task for configuring a port to be used as IP Phone is that another end machine or data machine can be connected to the IP Phone for data transfer. In other words, a single switchport of a Cisco router can act as both a voice and data port when used with IP Phone.

Let's see an example of configuring a switchport to act as an IP Phone port:

from netmiko import ConnectHandlerimport timedef ipphoneconfig(routerip,switchport):    uname="cisco"    passwd="cisco"    device = ConnectHandler(device_type='cisco_ios', ip=routerip, username=uname, password=passwd) cmds="interface ...
