All IP phones I've ever seen are switches. That doesn't mean there
aren't any that are hubs aka bridges, of course...

I was thinking in terms of PC management ;) For the things you're
talking about... it's just like any other switch. You will see at a
minimum 2 MACs per port - one for the PC, one for the phone. Whether you
see more than that and what you do about it depends on your users and
your policies.
