[cisco-voip] vg310/320 or ISR4K with analog modules

[Dave Goodwin]

On a 6608 blade, each port ("host") was like its own device and could
therefore be programmed somewhat independently, and it was nice. Here is a
blast from the past on what some of the CatOS commands for it looked like
and some CallManager 3.0 vintage screen shots...

Today you could achieve similar multi-cluster functionality with an IOS
gateway using SIP trunking rather than CUCM terminating the D channels. I
admit that approach doesn't suit everyone and it is somewhat more complex
to configure than the 6608 was. But there is also some flexibility
available there today that wouldn't be possible with something like a 6608.

Regarding the VG248, I can't say I remember exactly what OS it used under
the covers - if I ever knew. It offered a menu-driven CLI (see here for a
single example screen shot:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/vg248/1_1/english/configuration/guide/sw_confg/vg248swc.html).
That menu system in itself made the configuration somewhat easy. I'd say
again that a modern IOS-based analog gateway might offer some additional
flexibility or functionality versus the VG248, but of course with it comes
some additional complexity of configuration.
