There is a way to ensure traffic prioritisation...but it can work out a little
expensive.
1. Use 3Com 4400 PWR as your switch.
2. Use 3Com NJ200/NJ220 (US) or NJ205/NJ225 (EU) POE Multiport switches
3. Use 3CNJVOIP-CPOD POE --> 7960 POE/Data splitters for power and data
connections to the phone.
The 4400 Delivers Power to the NJ2xx switches, these switches have 4 ports which
can be individually selected to handle traffic prioritisation on a per port
basis.
The NJ2xx switches are fully managed supporting SNMP, Power forwarding and
802.1x security....
This is how I've configured my LAN, and Phones get priority for network
traffic.
Have fun

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Vlan question
Hi,
I am setting up an Asterisk system with Cisco 7960 phones. I have a PoE
injector to insert between the patch panel and HP 2626 switch. I plan to plug
the users pc into the phone and the phone into the wall. I would like the
phones to have a seperate subnet from the phones for performance reasons.
May be a silly question, but with the pc and phone sharing the same switch port,
how will it know to seperate the traffic and subnets?
Thanks

I've not done anything virtual for so many years so I could be wrong. But you will not save performance when you share the same wire. The switch learns who is hosting what IP so that's not the problem. It should also be able to route multiple LANs. - -- Steve "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

Your switch has to support vlan trunking, ie. 802.1q. You will have to set the switch port to trunk, allowing the vlans that you want to be avilable, then you will set the phone to trunk those two vlans, assigning one to the pc port. -Mark>----- Original Message ----- >From: tmeeks@che-llp.com >To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com >Sent: 13 Aug 04, 2:38 PM >Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Vlan question > >Hi, > >I am setting up an Asterisk system with Cisco 7960 phones.

The other way, at least with Cisco Switches (I saw it also with 3com switches some time ago), is to set every port with a secondary vlan. What it does, it sent those 2 vlan u set to the port, it consume less resources in your switch, and keep you far from confinguring vlan filtering.
