Networking Protocol Purpose Usage Notes
Bootstrap Protocol
(BootP)
BootP enables a network device such
as the Cisco Unified IP Phone to
discover certain startup information,
such as its IP address.
If you are using BootP to assign IP
addresses to the Cisco
Unified
IP Phone, the BOOTP Server
option shows “Yes” in the network
configuration settings on the phone.
Cisco Discovery
Protocol (CDP)
CDP is a device-discovery protocol
that runs on all Cisco-manufactured
equipment.
Using CDP, a device can advertise its
existence to other devices and receive
information about other devices in
the network.
The Cisco Unified IP Phone uses
CDP to communicate information
such as auxiliary VLAN ID, per port
power management details, and
Quality of Service (QoS) configuration
information with the Cisco Catalyst
switch.
