Network Protocols
Cisco recommends that Power Negotiation always be enabled (default) when connecting to a switch that
supports power negotiation.
If Power Negotiation is disabled, the switch may disconnect power to the phone. If the switch does not support
power negotiation, disable the Power Negotiation feature before you power up accessories over PoE. When
the Power Negotiation feature is disabled, the phone can power the accessories up to the maximum that the
IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard allows.
Note • When CDP and Power Negotiation are disabled, the phone can power the accessories up to 15.4W.

Purpose
Bluetooth is a wireless personal area
network (WPAN) protocol that specifies
how devices communicate over short
distances.
BootP enables a network device, such as
the Cisco IP Phone, to discover certain
startup information, such as the IP address.
CDP is a device-discovery protocol that
runs on all Cisco-manufactured equipment.
Using CDP, a device can advertise its
existence to other devices and receive
information about other devices in the
network.
