Cisco 2921 PVDM3 Resources

rick505d3
Level 1
Level 1

Hi,

I am working on a Cisco 2921 router ordered with PVDM3 32 to 128 Channels factory upgrade. The DSP looks good in the inventory. However, I am not able to see / allocate all the resources available. I am unable to allocate more resources then currently are defined for Transcoding, Conferencing and MTP. Do I need to activate / license something ?

Hi Rick,

You do not need any license to activate PVDMs .U need to have Voice based IOS.

But on ISR G2 series ,in addition to Voice based IOS , also need Unified Communications license. In your case,it is alreay there since u are able to see//configure PVDMs.

Please refer this DOC by Mr. AOK

https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-29151

Can u share the output of command show voice dsp group all.

regds,

aman

Thanks Aman

The output of "show voice dsp group all" follows below:

Why are the  total channels in the output of DSP Farm command equal to 24 only ?

Thanks,

Rick.

Hi Rick,

It is a good catch .I have never seriously noticed in  O/P but this may be due to Number of Resource Configured which sums to 24[15+5+4] .

regds,

aman

Thanks Aman,

Yes, that may be sum of total resources configured. However, I cannot increase the individual count beyond 15, 5 and 4 without decreasing another number. The DSP config looks like this:

voice-card 0
