I'm planning to install a home network with the following hardware:
- Netgear UTM50-100 ProSecure
- Netgear ProSafe JGS524PE (24 Port switch, 12 Port PoE)
- ESXi Server w/ 2 VM's (AWS Storage Gateway & 3CX IP PBX)
- Cisco 7941 IP Phone
- Ubiquiti UAP Access Point
I may only have two to three IP phones on this network, and I can't imagine more than two calls at maximum. My connection is a 10/1 DSL (ouch, I know. However I'll soon be getting Fiber which is why I'll need to replace my land line with an IP PBX.) Does an environment as small as this need QoS? I should also state that there may be five to six computers not including the two VM's pulling bandwidth at times.
Thanks,
Brent
You need to VLAN out the phones and give them realtime priority – Linef4ult – 2016-02-04T16:26:38.787
Is creating a VLAN for QoS about the equivalent to creating a GPO? I guess what I'm asking is, in an environment such as this, does it make sense to create a VLAN for the phones or just QoS the port? – brentaarnold – 2016-02-04T16:32:19.093
