Also, think about the added switch if you're using phones like Cisco where you connect the phone to the wall & then the computer to the phone. What are the added possibilities there?
From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, December 31, 2009 9:36 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: VoIP Would it be accurate to state that going to VoIP you are now adding phone calls to the same security concerns as data over IP and you're effectively adding nodes? Say, 300 VoIP devices now means your switches, routers and firewalls need to be configured and operated as if you have 300 new data systems (servers ,PC's) on your wire, but now with a different OS pushing data over the wire? Sure, it might be over different CAT5 and physical hardware, but conceptually it's the same, right?
