[cisco-voip] HP Switches

[Peter Slow]

You should be able to do this, I have seen LLDP in use with our phones
and this was at least half a year ago. I imagine it should work by
now. If there are configuration options for it in Unified CM, they
ought to work. (if you're on a _released_ version ;) I've looked at
packet caps of this operating with IP phones so I know someone
deployed it.

it should definitely work if you configure it manually as long as the
HPs support 802.1q and I beleive they do.

It also shouldn't be terribly difficult to test if you want to do a
pilot or something before rollout.
