[cisco-voip] [OSL | CCIE_Voice] v3 BluePrint questions...

[Jonathan Charles]

Yes, but there are some conflicting statements...

One of the configuration items on the blueprint is DHCP... If the
phones are already registered, then DHCP must have been too...

If basic dial plan is constructed, that means the PRIs/CAS lines are
configured, which means you had to configure the transcoders and conf
bridges before that (else you would have to tear them back down to
configure the transcoders...)...

This is weird...
