I have done this. Depends on what you're looking for in a switch. If a basic manageable switch will work, then it works great. But if you're looking for a highly scalable enterprise switch, then I'm afriad Cajuns' just don't have the features that they need yet. Cisco switches have alot more features that Cajun can only dream of right now. But if you're looking for power, then cajun is the way to go as well..
Heh, AVAYA has the voice features, Cisco has the data features. SIGH!

BuckWeet is right, Avaya doesn't have a lot of the esoteric features that Cisco switches have. On the other hand, most people don't need esoteric features.
I have many PWR switches filled up with 24 IP phones with no issues. These are all 4612 and 4606's. I think the 4620 may draw a more current so if you're planning on filling a switch up with those take a closer look at the current draws.
The new C460 switch is a L3 chassis switch with POE for hundreds of IP phones if you need an enterprise level device.
