[cisco-voip] No. of IP Phones in CME or SRST

[Jim McBurnett]

I was recently told that 42 phones on a 2811 is a special patch that will not last forever...
Do not depend on that limit..
As for 2801 and more-- 30 is set there.. BUT again this only exists in some software releases...
I have not seen that on anything bigger than the 2811....

As always YMMV....
Later,
J

Just try what
max-ephones ?
says in IOS. that is your configurable limit.
I'm not sure what cisco says is the limitation for it, but I have a 2811
running 42 phones and a lot more than basic IP routing. (full CME with
DHCP, internal BGP, QoS etc.) Anyway, shouldn't the default 256M be
enough? (can't find a straightforward way to check free memory, but
seems like 90-something MB is still free)
Then again, 2811 might have a 42 phone limit "officially" as well.

regards,
Zoltan
