<DIV><BR></DIV>Ok now that i've had a chance to pop one in the lab, here's
what I found:<BR><BR>- EIGRP support has been recently added to the feature
set for the VG224 IOS.<BR>- As stated, you can bind int L0 to sccp<BR>- You
can use the MAC address for int f0/0 to configure the voice ports in
callmanager. f0/0 doesnt need to be up for the ports to work (although I
didnt try registering the ports with f0/0 down.. will try that next)
<BR><BR>This all seems to work as I expected, depends on what your goal is
with the redundancy. I need to figure out if there is any tinkering I can do
with timers to make the routing switch over faster on a
failure.<BR><BR> Our requirement was for redundant links, so that
network ops can upgrade software on their equipment and not cause an
outtage, (as well as cover for certain hardware failures) . If your power
supply goes bad, this doesnt help much :) <BR><BR>
