[asterisk-users] Recommendations for QoS, PoE Switches
Hi all, For a top quality setup, I will need to install high quality VoIP switches with QoS and PoE. My potential customer should not have any problem with call quality. Experienced folks, Please advice me what switches to install and at what price. I may need it for upto 100 phones. What else should I consider so that phones work without problem along with the computers on the same network? Phones will use their bridged ethernet connections, so that both computer and phones can work on the same connections.

Zeeshan - I really like the Adtran Netvanta and/or Cisco Catalyst 3560 series switches if your customer has the pocket depth for them. You are going to want a good, VLAN capable managed switch. There are cheaper alternatives from Linksys, Netgear and DLink as well.

I've been testing the D-Link DES-3226L (24x10/100 ports, 2x10/100/1000 ports) and so far it has proven to be a good lower cost alternative. ________________________________ From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Cory Andrews Sent: Sunday, December 10, 2006 9:35 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: RE: [asterisk-users] Recommendations for QoS, PoE Switches Zeeshan - I really like the Adtran Netvanta and/or Cisco Catalyst 3560 series switches if your customer has the pocket depth for them.

Apologies -- just realized you asked for PoE (doh!)

Hi, I am using Procurve Switches by HP for PoE. http://www.hp.com/rnd/products/switches/ProCurve_Switch_3500yl-5400zl_Series/overview.htm?jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN Aside from being a LIFETIME WARRANTY, I found them very easy to configure and install.

Edgewater Networks markets a 24 port switch, with PoE (both Cisco CDP and 802.3af supported), and Layer 2/3 management features that retails for less than $1500.

[asterisk-users] Re: Recommendations for QoS, PoE Switches
Layer 2 switches support all the basic switching functionality. QoS, SNMP, POE, VLANs, Etc... depending on the model and features. Layer 3 switches are essentialy basic routers with a switch built in. One thing about Cisco CDP and a lot of POE switches is you can get CDP support with a custom Ethernet cable, just swap pins 4-5 with 7-8 (This is how I'm running Cisco 7940G's with a Dell POE Switch). --------------------------------- William J McCloskey Information Technology Manager williamm@timbercon.com 503-827-8141 503-228-6747 fax www.timbercon.com --------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Cory Andrews Sent: Monday, December 11, 2006 7:32 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: RE: [asterisk-users] Re: Recommendations for QoS, PoE Switches Edgewater Networks markets a 24 port switch, with PoE (both Cisco CDP and 802.3af supported), and Layer 2/3 management features that retails for less than $1500.
