Cisco and Linksys Compatibility

[NeilFalcon]

Hi

I currently have 2 x Cisco 3560 non POE switches and now need to run VOIP on the switches, due to the lack of AC power near the phone POE injectors aren't really an option, so i need to add another switch.

I want to add a LINKSYS POE switch for the phones and then link the Linksys switch to the 3560 already installed so they are also part of the network, but i'm not to sure if it will work or if it will effect the VOIP in any manner.

Any info would help.

Regards

Neil

This should not be a problem.

Just make sure that if you have more that 1 Vlan for example

Vlan 10 for Data

Vlan 100 for VOIP

Make the connection between the 3560 and the linksys a 802.1Q trunk.

Alex.
