[Nottingham] Do VoIP phones need to be directly attached to a router?

[Simon Sleaford]

In my experience they can be anywhere on the network. They are user devices
so they can be attached to an edge switch. I used to manage around 250
Cisco 7950 and 7945 phones in my previous position using Cisco Call Manager
so I've got some experience there that tells me they aren't being
completely truthful.
