Sorry, I forgot to mention that I want to route between VLANs without an external router and do some simple ACLs to allow PCs on the data VLANs to access the web interface of the Trixbox on the voice VLAN. thanks
The only reason to route the voice VLAN is if you need the phones to access the Internet and/or vice-versa. If you only need to worry about the computers on the data VLAN accessing Trixbox's web interface, I would suggest using the Ethernet VLAN capabilities of Linux. You can create eth0.vlan1 for data on Trixbox, and have the "default" vlan for the port on the switch be voice. Then, the voice VLAN goes nowhere but to your PBX and the phones. The other option is to put in another NIC, one for the voice VLAN, the other for the data VLAN. I've been pretty happy with the Linksys 24-port layer 2 switches (SRW224P). They're running around $400 right now. If you really need layer3 support, I would steer clear of the Netgear. I've had a lot of problems with them, and the support was disappointing. But then again, I got a bunch that don't work that I could sell you ;)
