Don’t forget to add codec passthrough on all your MTP’s. otherwise it will pick software ones over the hardware ones.

Just following up on this thread.

I've read through a number of documents, and I'm beginning to really like the idea of trusted relay points.

I'm hoping to set up a IOS software based MTP and configure that as TRP (using the firewall traversal command). I'd also set it up as codec passthrough since that's primarily what we'd use it for.

That being said, as far as I can tell, if I ever do need a XCODER, it would simply call that on top of the MTP/TRP, since I don't think I want to be marking my XCODERs as TRPs since there's no real way to not use them as such and waste resources.

An alternative would be to modify my MRGLists to contain multiple MRGroups, and order them appropriately, i.e. MTP/TRPs first, then XCODER/TRPs next.

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Lelio

Thanks Eric.

Transcoders are another question I'm trying to clear up as well. I might spin that off into another thread after I read up some more.

It's good to know that if we don't need transcoding, that we won't need additional DSPs.

I believe you can configure your router to be a software MTP with “codec pass-through” as long as you don’t need transcoding. Then you won’t need DSPs.

Thanks Brian.

I'm guessing the only things I would have to do is ensure that I have enough MTP resources on the trusted device. I could use the DSP calculator for that.

They're basically just MTPs you deem to be "trusted".  A lot of people use them for switching between IPv4 and IPv6.  Really not anything different than just forcing MTP Required other than maybe just narrowing down the MTP list.  Some people use the same setup for VPN phones/IP Communicators over VPN so VPN clients don't have to be able to talk directly to each other.

We had a security discussion with our account team, and one thing that was brought up was the concept/feature of trusted relay points.

There's not much on the subject in the guides, other than saying some MTPs are trusted relay points.

Our thought was, rather than opening up the voice VLANs to allow media from the data VLANs, we could simply set up the Jabber clients with "trusted relay points" enabled and modify the voice VLAN ACLs to allow access from these trusted relay points. We could either use our PSTN gateways or deploy another set of 2900s for this purpose.

This would also help us in the short term, I believe, by not having to enable "peer to peer" communications on our wiLAN.

Any thoughts or pointers to some documents would be fantastic.
