Hi Mike, Cisco makes PoE switches, either at the Cat 29xx or the Cat 35xx levels. The 29xx don't have gige uplinks, but the 35xx's do via GBIC interfaces. Meaning you will also need to get a GBIC media converter depending the media type (copper fiber, etc)
And of course Cisco makes PoE based phones 7940 7960 which work well with * Grandstream currently requires a wall-wart, but later models are suppose to use PoE as well. I'd personally put the phones on their own subnet so that ACL filtering at the router will be easier, static IP alloc will be easier. hope this helps john brown chagres technologies, inc sip: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ptsn: (01) 505 830 1200 USA On Sun, Aug 17, 2003 at 12:44:43PM -0500, Mike Ciholas wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm looking for recommendations on ethernet switches for a new > install.
