Answer: Inline power switch means that switch can provide current to IP phones

When you connect an IP phone to a switch using a trunk link, it can cause high CPU utilization in the switches.

As all the VLANs for a particular interface are trunked to the phone, it increases the number of STP instances the switch has to manage.

This increases the CPU utilization.

Trunking also causes unnecessary broadcast / multicast / unknown unicast traffic to hit the phone link
