Explanation
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.
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.
