2851 Router

rudy.lilly · ‎02-13-2007

I have a 2851 router getting ready to be installed for VoIP(using the 2 48 port PoE switches), what I'd like to do is incorporate my Firewall, IDS and maybe Voice Recording in the same device...any suggestions or recommendations on this idea?

Are you going to be using callmanager express (CME) on the router? If so how many phones are you going to connect to those 2 switches? You seem to be setup to use the max 96 phones.

I believe you'll be able to do basic FW and IDS on the router. From what I gathered following a couple of threads on the voip forums, voice recording is not as easy as you might think.

Yes, CME running on the router with a max of about 50 phones over the 2 switches. Correct again, I've found some information about the recording and it does seem to be getting a little more complex than I thought.

THanks for the help.
