[cisco-voip] vg224 vs vg248

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

why would one use MGCP over SCCP? the chart seems to show that SCCP has more features.

  I use a VG224.  I have currently not been able to find a way to make the two Ethernet Interfaces work as redundant interfaces as far as CCM is concerned.  If you're using SCCP to CCM you have to specify the MAC address so that doesn't work.  If you're using MGCP, you enter the IP address of the device.  Using a loopback address will not work.  It looks like you might be able to use HSRP, but I've never tried it.

   

  Someone here can speak to the redundant interface issue I'm sure, but just know that even though it says it's running IOS, it's not as robust.  Just because it has two Ethernet interfaces, it doesn't mean you can use them the way you may be wanting to.  Otherwise it's a pretty nice box and is simple as all getout to configure in MGCP.

   

  My $.02

  I like the idea of redundant links.

    I have some vg224's on order for a project this summer, the reason we chose them instead of the 248's was we had a requirement that the devices all needed dual ethernet interfaces (is for a dorm on remote campus). 248's would have been less expensive due to the port density but we couldnt get around the dual interface requirement. Haven't recieved them yet so I can't comment on anything else about the 224's. 

    We've been using the 248's in our health sciences center, haven't really had any problems with them. I'd prefer IOS on them but thats my only real complaint. No one has tried to hook up a high speed fax yet though, I heard those werent supported unless you turn them down.

    Just wondering what people's opinions are on the two analog gateways (vg248 vs vg224). I'm proposing a project that requires 128 ports (perhaps more) and we only have experience (mostly good) with the vg248. I'd rather keep our inventory similar so I'm leaning towards them rather than starting a new with vg224s. 

     

    Also, in the configuration guide, there is an option for IPSEC software. Do I need this?
