[Asterisk-Users] LAN switches with PoE? PoE phones?

[Ray Burkholder]

To follow up on this, the Cisco Switches and the Cisco phones will work
together to create two vlans:  a prioritized vlan for the phone traffic,
and a secondary 10/100 link for a computer which can be attached to the
phone's second switched ethernet port.  Some config is needed in the
switch and router to make this happen properly.  I have it running well
with 79x0 phones, 3550 switch, and 1751-V router.

What this means is only one switch port is needed to run both a phone
and a computer.  This helps on the switch/phone ROI calcs.

The PoE can also be used to power wireless access points.
