[asterisk-users] sip phone networking question [possibly OT]

[Alex Robar]

Should be no problems at all. But keep in mind that you're getting what you
pay for. There have been a few posts recently regarding issues with a
Polycom 501 that turned out to be (partially) related to the networking
equipment used. Make sure you get a good quality switch (and NOT a hub, as
Brandon's pointed out), and you'll be fine.
