Table 27: Cisco IP Phone troubleshooting
ExplanationSummary
Cisco does not support connecting an IP phone to
another IP Phone through the PC port. Each IP Phone
should connect directly to a switch port. If phones are
connected together in a line by using the PC port, the
phones do not work.
Connecting a Cisco IP Phone to another Cisco IP

A prolonged Layer 2 broadcast storm (lasting several
minutes) on the voice VLAN may cause IP phones to
reset, lose an active call, or be unable to initiate or
answer a call. Phones may not come up until a
broadcast storm ends.
