[Asterisk-Users] cisco poe

[Jeb Campbell]

By far the best poe (price/performance) I have seen for Cisco poe (or 
standard poe) is the Netgear FSM7326P. 
http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=568864

It is a managed layer3 poe switch (24 port) with 2 gigabit ports also.

Works out of the box with Cisco and Snoms (it auto detects which 
polarity they want).  No adapters needed for either.  And it is about $1100.

We are using 4 of them and love them.
