[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7940 Reboot

[Aaron Daniel]

I'm not a VLAN expert either, but there's one switch that ties the 
private vlans into the public vlan, so all you have to do is add a route 
from your box to the vlan over that switch, effectively hopping you onto 
the vlan.  Not really sure the details on it, but that's basically the 
gist of what I understand it (I'm just the voip guy, not the network 
expert ;).  So we've effectively got the phones and servers isolated 
into their own vlan.
