any one have any idea. i heared that this issue is there and it is solved in comming version 8.5 where you can diable the negogiation on the POE for the accesories from CUCM side.

Also i knew that the camera will use CDP if available and if not LLDP.

Hi Ibrahim,

I'm facing the same problem.

Hi Martin,

i solved the issue even without CUCM 8.5

All you need to do is to disable the following under the phone setting:

Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP): Switch Port

Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP): PC Port

We had this issue when fist installing 9971's we are on 8.6 and we have nortel 5520 switches. There was a setting to disable auto power negotiation and this resolved our issue. We had some phones that would work and some that would not and that setting worked for us.
