The nortel switches do support 802.3af so power should not be an issue. But since CDP is a cisco proprietary protocol, the nortel switches won't support CDP which means that the phones will not automatically use the voice vlan for voice traffic. This just means that the customer would have to do something else to segregate and QoS the voice traffic such as an acl.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV><DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="1" color="black" face="Helvetica"><SPAN style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:black"><O:P> </O:P></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV><DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="1" color="black" face="Helvetica"><SPAN style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:black">Are there any other considerations?<O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV><DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="1" color="black" face="Helvetica"><SPAN style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:black"><O:P> </O:P></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV><DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="1" color="black" face="Helvetica"><SPAN style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:black"><O:P> </O:P></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV><DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="1" color="black" face="Helvetica"><SPAN style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:black">tm<O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV><DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="1" color="black" face="Helvetica"><SPAN style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:black"> <O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV><DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="1" color="black" face="Helvetica"><SPAN style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:black">Tim Medley<O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV><DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="1" color="black" face="Helvetica"><SPAN style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:black">Moxie Enterprises<O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV><DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="1" color="black" face="Helvetica"><SPAN style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:black">Email:<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN><A href="mailto:tim.medley@moxieent.com"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; ">tim.medley@moxieent.com</SPAN></A><O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV><DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="1" color="black" face="Helvetica"><SPAN style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:black">Phone: (704) 905-4604<O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV><DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="1" color="black" face="Helvetica"><SPAN style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:black"> <O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV><DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="1" color="black" face="Helvetica"><SPAN style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:black"><O:P> </O:P></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="1" color="black" face="Helvetica"><SPAN style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:black"><BR><BR></SPAN></FONT><O:P style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "></O:P></P></DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="3" face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "><O:P style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "> </SPAN></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
