I read the Shoretel best practices vlan guide. It says VLAN and QOS are not absolutely necessary because Shoretel VOIP "has one of the best voice sampling, audio digitizing and packetization processing in the VoIP industry ...
It is common to deploy several hundred ShoreTel IP phones intermixed with several hundred general-use workstations in the same campus LAN environment and have no need to deploy VLANs or implement QoS on the LAN"
Is this real? I have 2 offices each with about 15 phones and the Shoretel VOIP sound quality for calls between the two offices is so bad that we are using Skype now. We don't have QOS or VLAN.
