[cisco-voip] HP Switches

[Tim Smith]

As Brett said - should work fine.

Probably not so much an issue now, but ensure your phones are not cisco
pre-standard PoE.. i.e. 7940, 7960. I dont think the procurves will power
them up otherwise.

New handsets seem to support LLDP-MED... I assume most new procurve switches
support as well...
Might be worth investigating.. there is a doc on Cisco that discusses.. but
I dont know what is practically possible today.

Also, depends how many phones you are doing, and how many people you have
for the deployment :)
But you could write a remote control script to the phones web pages to
accomplish the initial deployment.
Still its static, so its not really ideal.

Cheers,

Tim
