Actually due to a difference between who this customer uses for Server
network vs. Phone network; they have been using Sonicwall for normal VPN
connectivity, which I personally do not like based on personal experience.
But the setup will be as follows:

 

87x router or ASA ß-DSL or Cable-à INTERNET ß---PRI/Internet
connection--à2811 routerß-Phone LAN

This has been kicked around for a while since we moved to CallManager but
not much thought has been given to it. I'm trying to understand how your
hardware is setup. How would it look, similar to one of these?

 

87x router <---DSL or Cable---> INTERNET <--T1 connection---> 3845
<--Ethernet--> LAN

 

or

 

87x router <---DSL or Cable---> INTERNET <--T1 connection---> 3845 <---> ASA
or PIX Firewall <--Ethernet--> LAN

 

Is the 3800 used for all your firewalling needs in lieu of something like an
ASA or PIX? Sonicwall's are currently in place and haven't worked very well
for the remote users it was tested with. The Sonicwalls we have don't have
anything similar to what the 871's seem to have in regards to vlans and
packet tagging. We would probably kick the Sonicwalls out if something else
would work better.

We currently have about 40 production remote home teleworkers that have been
deployed using Cisco 871/877 wireless routers and a 7960 phones.  We are
using a Cisco 3845 series router at the head-end so that we can control QoS
tagging on the egress / ingress points of both sides of the VPN tunnel.  We
are using a phase 2 DMVPN solution dual-homed to two sites to provide secure
redundant connectivity.

 

It took me a bit to tweak my router configurations (I started on Cisco
831/837 routers) to get the results that we wanted, but all and all our
users are happy.  There is the occasional jitter and packet loss (it is the
Internet mind you) but g.729 is working quite well coupled with business
cable and DSL services.

 

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

I was wondering want everyone out there is using for the situation where you
have someone on your CCM or CCME that has 1 phone at a home office.
Something tells me an ASA is overkill and I haven’t found solid information
that any of the 87x routers support tagging QoS of packets going through the
VPN tunnel. We would obviously like to have QoS in place even though it’s
not respected at their ISP just to make sure the VPN/Voice packets are
leaving their routers first as a best effort to get some quality. 

 

Thanks
