How many phones a cisco unified service monitor sensor 1040 can support?

Hi there,

I know that, I can send a VLAN traffic to SPAN port and to sensor 1040, but how many phones can the sensor handle? Can it handle 1000 phones? Any reference?

Thanks,

Hi Jbayuka,

Thanks for your reply, but still the answer to the main question is not clear, I have 5000 phones spread over 10 vlans. the biggest vlan has 2000 phones. How many 1040 is needed for monitoring 2000 phones?

Thanks,
