[j-nsp] PoE for older Cisco IP Phones

[Paulhamus, Jon]

Just a note -

I know that on some Cisco phones using EX2200-12C switches we needed to use crossover cables to connect the phones.

That was in the release notes for the switches - at the time we were running 11.4R5.5

I stand corrected.

I didn't think it would work from past experience. In my case the POE switch I was testing (non Juniper) was a Type B (only).

In addition to the document Skeeve posted, I found an explanation of how cisco POE works and how you could make it work with switches like the one I tested.
