IP phone reboot

[Mthompson]

Hello, can someone confirm for me.

When rebooting 7942 or 8851 Cisco IP phones powered by PoE switch.

The computer connected to the handset doesn't lose network connectivity?

The obvious answer the computer loses network connectivity. Because the phone acts like a switch.

If the PC loses network connectivity due the phone rebooting this in my mind is a bigger over site then I ever expected.

Thank you in advance

It does lose connectivity for the reason you mentioned. It will be small glitch less than 1 min

Not sure why you view it as an oversite as it's operating just the way you think it would. 

If you did a shut-no shut on an interface then the device connected to it is going to lose connectivity so effectively this is no different.
