[cisco-voip] 7960 Phone - connected via the 10/100PC

[Bell, Joe]

The major difference between the two ports is the PC port does not
accept PoE.  The Cisco Troubleshooting handbook (version 1, pg 164)
states the PC port can be used for switch redundancy (use a cross over
cable from PC port to he second switch) so that should the PoE switch
fails, you still have network access.  You need an external power supply
for that option.  

 

How does loop avoidance work in that scenario?  Well the Phone switch
does not run STP, but it does pass BPDU's, so the switches perform the
blocking forwarding etc.

I heard that there was a hospital out there that used both ports of the
phone plugged into a switch and used this as a backup link configuration
along with the power cube.

 

Totally unsupported I believe as well.

	I was wondering if anyone knew the potential effects of a phone
running connected to the 10/100PC port rather then the correct 10/100SW
port.  We are in the second phase of our Teleworker rollout (replacing
the old routers with new Cisco 870's) and I am finding that our helpdesk
that originally helped many users setup their home setup had their
phones connected to the older 831/837 routers via their 10/100PC port.
These happen to be some of the same people that were also complaining
about voice quality (even though the policy-maps showed that voice was
being prioritized correctly).  Has anyone run across this?
