[cisco-voip] Training material

[Curt Shaffer]

That is good news. I guess my next question is what I need for a lab as far
as routers/switches and gateways go. I have two Cisco 4000 routers, a couple
25xx routers, a 1900 and a 2524 switch. I can get some Cisco IP phones, I
was planning on doing that anyway to work with my current Asterisk system.
Is this hardware enough?

I am basically looking for guidelines for a basic lab to get the hands on
needed to install/support Cisco based VoIP systems. I would like it to touch
multiple areas like routers, switches, FXS/FXO ports, FoIP if possible and
any of the other features needed. I plan on taking the training and the
certification but I A. Need to get my CCNA (in progress) and B. I am more of
a hands on learner and would probably pass the exam easier if I could not
only learn but do it too.

Thanks to all of you for your help!

Curt

CCM is not licensed... just a reg hack and a license key which can be
found here:

As far as the Unity license goes, yes, I did grab it from work... and
I had to hack the MAC address of the windows box to make it match
(can't do that with CCM5...)...
