Yes, I separate voice and data. Typically this is done using separate
switches where possible, other times, using VLANs with appropriate QoS. Regardless,
your phone and PC are sharing the same physical link to your switching
infrastructure. If that works for you, great. It is not acceptable for
me.<br><font color="#888888">

<font color="#888888"></font></div></div>I was asking the question as I was talking to a guy about this very same issue recently.</blockquote><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
He was adamant that you should never ever plug the PC into the ethernet port on a VOIP handset yet he had everything going back to a really bad dlink switch. There is a switch port in most good VOIP phones. I have seen large telcos in the UK using the switchport in their Cisco handsets. We have many installs doing the same thing with both Asterisk and Call Manager. Never has it caused any difficulty.</blockquote>
