 From very small (technology aware) to large companies (likely the broadest
addressable
 Installed by a VAR (Reseller), technical department, Self installed by “the
technical guy”
 Understand the need for VLAN, QoS – they leverage the network
 Either VoIP today or interested for the future
 Network is important, may not be not core yet. Usually have an IT budget
and have a buying plan vers. being reactive, might have a dedicated
technical person
 Price / Performance is important vers. just price
 Technology aware – Solution may be key
 Selling arguments:
Cisco is #1, service and support, NBD energy saving, WebUI CLI SNMP,
VoIP and other real time traffic, …

The main challenges of deploying VoIP within a data
network are:
Mass configuration of phones and switches
Consistent configuration across the network
VoIP traffic quality
Things to consider when choosing a switch for both
voice and data:
Port Density and Bandwidth Speed
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Quality of Service
VLAN management

DHCP Auto
Configuration
• A way to deploy switches en-masse
• Uses DHCP Options 66 and 67
• Switch automatically loads its config from a TFTP Server
LLDP-MED + CDP
• LLDP - Stds-based discovery mechanism similar to CDP
• Switch learns devices attached to specific ports
• Switch notifies endpoint which Voice VLAN to use, QoS
parameters to set, etc
Auto Smartports
• Smartports - pre-created macros to speed up
deployments
• Auto Smartports - Apply appropriate Smartports role to
port based on discovered device
Auto Voice VLAN
• Dynamic creation and propagation of Voice VLAN
TextView CLI
• Text-based Command Line Interface to ease mass
deployment
Additional Management options: Full SNMP support, FindIT, CCA

 OSI model ‘Layers’
 Layer 2 switch operates at data link layer (no
routing)
Communicates at frame level based on layer 2
information
 Layer 2+ and Layer 3 switches operate at both
data link and network levels based on layer 3
information
Layer 2+ switch does static routing at network
layer
Layer 3 switch operates at network layer and
routes dynamically (acts like a router) –
communicates at packet level
 Cisco Small Business Managed 300 Series and
Managed Stackable switches are Layer 2+

200/300 Series Switches
Fixed – IP phones on set ports and trunks
on uplinks. All Static. Manual Smartports.
Flexibility – supports and sets APs, phones,
switches, routers, etc as they are dynamically
learned across all ports. Auto Smartports and userdefined Smartports supported
Default port config restricts number of
users on port and re-marks specific QoS
Less restrictive – broader support. Can support
endpoints using VMWare and any QoS settings
Fixed and unchanged VLAN 100.
Dynamic – Any voice VLAN can be used.
Dynamically learned and propagated in network.
Same for QoS.
Supports CDP for Cisco devices only
More visibility – Supports CDP endpoints but also
any LLDP-MED standard endpoints.
Optimized only for fixed UC deployments.
9 total switches supported
Expansive – Supports HSB (Centrex) and UC
deployments without config changes. Also supports
15 Managed (300 Series) and 11 Smart (200 Series)
POE and non-POE have different defaults
around port settings
Consistent – same product defaults across
POE/non-POE and across 200/300 series
