Cisco Energy Tax Demo

If that Nortel IP phone was a Cisco IP phone the results would be reversed. Cisco IP phones and Cisco switches can 'talk to each other' to specify the right amount of power to draw, but when it's a switch from another manufacturer that benefit is lost. Same would apply vice versa.

Its the GigE port that eats up the power. A 10/100 port runs the same as the Nortel switch. Apples to Oranges comparision

Hmm...PoE devices can request how much power they want. Why isn't Nortel phone requesting what power it wants

[darkdreams911]

Because they couldnt say more power it eat that way.....
