[asterisk-users] Re: Recommendations for QoS, PoE Switches

[William McCloskey]

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).

 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.  The model is EC-2402POE-01
