[cisco-voip] 802.3af support in 7940 IP Phone

[Jim McBurnett]

Simon,
7940,7960,7905,7912,7902,7910  all use legacy Cisco inline power.

7911,7906,7941,7961,7970,7971 use 802.3af..

Look here:

I'm confused, I have 7940's, 7960's, 7941's & 7961's all using POE.

This is from Cisco ..

*      The preferred method for powering Cisco IP Phones is through
Power over Ethernet (POE). There are two variants of POE: Cisco Inline
Power and the IEEE 802.3af standard. All Cisco IP Phones support the
Cisco Inline Power variant, and the 7970G model offers both Cisco Inline
Power and 802.3af support. .
 
*      If POE is not available, or the customer chooses to power the
phones via an AC power adapter, the preferred network configuration is
Cisco Catalyst Switches that have been configured for automatic loop
detection and recovery. For more information, see Table 1 and
Configuration Guidelines.
 
*      Cisco does not support the use of Cisco IP Phones with unmanaged,
non-enterprise class switches that cannot automatically detect a loop
condition and recover from the effect of loop back traffic. Follow the
Configuration Guidelines section for specific recommendations.
