David, You will want a VLAN switch (managed to some degree) if you want to use them. I have had good luck with Netgear PoE switches. Management also benefits the PoE side of things, if only for power monitoring.
A simple example... eth0 - external eth1 - LAN - 10.10.10.1/24 (using existing unmanaged switch) eth2 - Untagged for Data port - 10.10.20.1/24 (using PoE/VLAN switch) eth2.21 Tagged VLAN (21) for Voice - 10.10.21.1/24 (using PoE/VLAN switch) So one ethernet cable would connect AstLinux's "eth2" NIC to the VLAN switch non-PoE Port, which would be configured for untagged and VLAN 21 frames. Each PoE port for an IP Phone would also be configured for untagged and VLAN 21 frames. When using VLAN's you need to plan ahead on paper, and expect to do a factory reset of your switch when you lock yourself out. :-) VLAN's are very useful, and a great skill to have, but it takes a little time to get comfortable with them. Let's say you want to only use a single PoE/VLAN switch for your network, then you would want to make your LAN network a VLAN... -- eth1.10 - LAN Tagged VLAN (10) - 10.10.10.1/24 (using PoE/VLAN switch) -- So additionally one ethernet cable would connect AstLinux's "eth1" NIC to the VLAN switch non-PoE Port, which would be configured for only VLAN 10 frames, then for each LAN connection to the switch you would specify an untagged Port tied to VLAN 10. Adding to this you could also have a DMZ network... -- eth1.10 - LAN Tagged VLAN (10) - 10.10.10.1/24 (using PoE/VLAN switch) eth1.50 - LAN Tagged VLAN (50) - 10.10.50.1/24 (using PoE/VLAN switch) -- Then the "eth1" NIC to the VLAN switch non-PoE Port, which would be configured for both VLAN 10 and VLAN 50 frames, DMZ switch ports would be untagged tied to VLAN 50. Personally I have separate switches for my LAN/DMZ and my (PoE) IP Phone Voice/DATA networks. Though both switches are configured with VLAN's. On the other hand, if you don't have a need for a data port in your phone, simplify with untagged 100 Mbps IP Phone ports.
