<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>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 :) <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
