If your phones support PoE, I have had huge success with Zyxel: http://www.amazon.com/ZyXEL-ES1100-16P-16-Port-Ethernet-Unmanaged/dp/B00 5GRETMM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1426296572&sr=8-3&keywords=zyxel+poe
If you want to go even cheaper, I have successfully used these as well: http://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-8-Port-100Mbps-Switch-TPE-S44/dp/B000QYEN 1W/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1426296706&sr=8-10&keywords=poe+8-port Brian Franklin NTG, Inc. - "Problem Solved" -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of thufir Sent: Friday, February 20, 2015 1:58 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [asterisk-users] [OT] switches Pardon, this might be off-topic. I'm reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch For a setup of ~5 agents, would I be wrong in thinking that a generic 16 port unmanaged switch would fit the bill? The first model to come up for me in an Amazon search is: http://support.netgear.com/product/fs116 Is this a reasonable choice? Would I be wrong in thinking that most any Fast Ethernet switch would be fine for Asterisk? thanks, Thufir -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
