I am working with a small inn (under 50 rooms) that is next to a ski
resort. The inn just had Cat5e Homeruns to each room installed, with a
patch panel in the basement. Now it's my job to connect each of the
those rooms to the Internet. I think I have a Cisco switch that I can
do Private VLANS with, however I thought of another solution.
Has anybody seen or does anybody know of a VoIP hardphone that has
router instead of a switch? I could connect the phone to the router,
give IP addresses based on the phone's MAC, and then the client can
connect thier computer to the phone. Because each phone/room would be
on a different subnet, they wouldn't be able to see one another. Then I
could save them 6k on Cisco gear and maybe some headaches?
Has anyone seen anything like this? Or does anyone have a better idea?
