Example Voice and Data Network Diagrams
If possible, it's best to separate Data and VoIP networks either physically (by using dedicated network cables) or virtually (using VLANS). However, if this is not possible, see the below network diagrams of two options for Voice and Data networks using a common infrastructure.
Voice and SBS Data Network with Dual WAN Failover
This is a typical network topology for a Microsoft Small Business Server Data network with VoIP phones, and failover between two WAN xDSL circuits.
Voice and Data Network with three static IPs
This network diagram illustrates how a voice and data network can be configured so that the router, mail server and phones all have external IPs.
Please view the voice network diagram for further details.
