Catalyst 2950 and IP talephony

nkariyawasam · ‎11-19-2002

Does Catalyst 2950 range switches support IP Telephony features ?

MARIO PAIVA · ‎11-20-2002

Yes,

All cat 2950 support IP telephony.

I can give you the correct conf to deploy IP phones and ATA's on cat 2950.

But remember that the cat 2950 is a layer 2 switch.

To have a correct conf to ip tele and data network, you must buy an layer 3 switch or router to route voice and data networks on an lan.

Hope it helps

Well good news for you guys then. The 2950 is layer 3 and layer 4 aware for QoS !! It is NOT a layer 2 only device. Check it out !
