[cisco-voip] E911 (CER or 911ENABLE), SNMP and port locations

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Ah - so all location information is managed within CER, not within the switches themselves? 

If we install a new switch, we update CER with that switch IP address, and the location information for all the ports in that switchstack? 

Interesting. I thought somehow you programmed additional information into the switch and CER read that via SNMP. I guess all it reads via SNMP is the phone that is attached to the port.

using CER here. Each switchport has its own location, so its not a problem for example to have part of the switch service one floor/area, and the other part service a difference location. It does mean that your network support staff must be aware that if they change where a port is patched to, a change may also need to be made to the CER configuration for that port. 


Would be fantastic if CER were smart enough to read in the switchport description and glean the ERL from that.

Just wondering...for those of you who have enabled E911, either using Cisco ER or 911Enable, can a switch and/or switch-stack have different "locations" associated with it? In our current layer 1 model, we install a switch stack in a particular space which services both horizontal and vertical space. For example, a switch stack in one corner of the building could service half the desks on each of four floors, and a switch stack in another corner of the building could service the other half on each of four floors. 

How will that complicate things going forward if we want to do E911?
