If you are using Avaya Phones, then you can't use cdp. Trunking is your
only option.

I have an Avaya VoIP implementation where I use the following:

switchport access vlan 227
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan 209

If you don't tag any frames coming into the switch, it's in the access
vlan, the phone receives a special DHCP Option which tells it to jump
into VLAN 209 and re-dhcp (normal PC's igonre it). Using the voice vlan

and access commands together essentially make it a trunk with a native
and 1 tagged vlan.

You don't need to use CDP to utilize the simpler config of "voice vlan".
