Network Configuration Examples
Each 10/100 inline-power port on the Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switches provides
–48 VDC power to the Cisco IP Phone. The IP phone can receive redundant power
when it also is connected to an AC power source. IP phones not connected to the
Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switches receive power from an AC power source.
