I think I finally need a real managed switch with VLAN and QoS. I need to somehow prioritize VoIP traffic on a LAN.
Basically San Francisco and Los Angeles Springs each have an Avaya IP Office PBX which transfers calls over VoIP. We have no VoIP phones or other devices, just these PBX's supporting VoIP to each other.
Previously these locations were connected via a Point-to-Point circuit with gobs of extra bandwidth, and at my busy SF location I had the PBX on a sub network away from all other traffic. But that is going away so now we need to prioritize the local traffic. The new MPLS circuit will prioritize across the WAN but locally I need to do something, too.
Let me know if you have any ideas. I'm hoping a very inexpensive switch with basic management will do this for me.
Thanks!
