CISCO IP PHONE SET UP
I just have a simple question. According to my understaing when setting the Cisco IP phone and the PC, the recommended way of doing is Switch > Cisco IP PHONE > From ip phone to PC. But I have came across one setup, in that Switch > PC and Pc to Ip Phone. I understand that voice and data have different VLAN. If both the ways are same then why first method is preferred. Is something wrong in the second method.
Second question does all the cisco phones has switch ports?

VPN
A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Using VLAN's is supposabely a bit more secure.
On the other hand, if you plan to implement tighter secruity in the future then the whole concept of allowing a PC to connect behind a phone is less secure, since it is much harder to protect, and makes every phone a potential hub.
Not all Cisco IP Phones come with an additional port, but I think that most of them does...
