Cisco IP Phone Power Configurations

These sections describe Cisco IP Phone power configurations:
•
•
Locally Powered Cisco IP Phones
There are two varieties of local power:
•
•
When a locally powered Cisco IP Phone is present on a switching module port, the switching module
cannot detect its presence. The supervisor engine discovers the Cisco IP Phone through CDPv2
messaging with the Cisco IP Phone.
If a locally powered Cisco IP Phone loses local power and the mode is set to auto, the switching module
discovers the Cisco IP Phone and informs the supervisor engine, which then supplies inline power to the
Cisco IP Phone.
Inline-Powered Cisco IP Phones
Inline power is from switching modules that support an inline power daughtercard. Inline power is sent
over the twisted-pair Ethernet cable to the Cisco IP Phone.
For information about switching modules that support inline power, refer to the Release Notes for Cisco

Trusted mode—All traffic received through the access port on the Cisco IP Phone passes through
the Cisco IP Phone unchanged.
Untrusted mode—All traffic in 802.1Q or 802.1p frames received through the access port on the
Cisco IP Phone is marked with a configured Layer 2 CoS value. The default Layer 2 CoS value is 0.
Untrusted mode is the default.
