It would be dependent on how the VOIP system and netowrk are set up. &nbsp;But generally, yes PC's can daisy chain off of IP phones and share a single port.<br />

Do you know if the PC's and phones will be on seperate VLAN's?

i know they can daisy chain off of it, thats not what I was asking. &nbsp;I want to configure a voice to be on a separate vlan from the data, but since that we are going with a hosted voip solution, is that going to be possible to have a voice vlan and a data vlan to have the computer daisy chain off of the phone

Does the switch that the ip phones and PC's connect to support access and voice VLAN's?

basically what is going on is at a satellite office we are deploying a hosted voip solution with cisco ip phones. &nbsp;At that office we have a cisco 3560 switch and cisco ip phones, 7945 i believe. &nbsp;We are also using M5 as a hosted voip solution. &nbsp;What I want to know is if we can use the data vlan/ voice vlan setup per switchport so the computers can be connected directly to the phones.<br />

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
