<div dir="ltr"><br>Sorry I should have been more clear. I'm building out a CCIE lab and trying to follow that blueprint for a handful of people here to use the equipment to prepare to take the lab exam. This isn't for production use at all.<br>
<br>There are some labs that use the 6608X for a conference bridge, a gateway, and to register its DSP resources with Call Manager. They seem simple but I'm doing my best to build the lab out entirely. I guess based on what I originally thought and what your'e saying about the CMM blades I'm better off trying to find a 6608X someone might not be using and willing to trade/swap or sell.<br>

<div><font size="2" face="Arial">The 6608 blades are EOL. If you are looking at
learning new stuff, I'd stick with ISRs. You could probably get a CMM but I'm
not sure they're any more long term than the 6608s. I don't think they've been
EOL'd but I wouldn't be surprised with the limited memory etc. If you look at
the cost of outfitting a Catalyst switch with CMM blades it's much more
expensive than a bunch of VG224s and an ISR. And that's not including the chasis
either.</font></div>

<div><font size="2" face="Arial">The only thing the 6608s blades were great for was
that you could configure each individually for a seperate cluster. The only way
you can do that with ISRs or CMMs as far as I know is to use H323 gateways. Then
again, people are moving towards H323 gateways and away from MGCP for a number
of reasons too. Which is another reason they 6608 blade might not serve you
well.</font></div>

blade</div>
<div><br></div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>I've been working on building out a VoIP lab and I have about
95% of the hardware. The blueprint calls for a 6608X blade which is no
longer available unless you can find one used.<br><br>I'm looking for opinions
from those of you who may have begun studying the lab. Would it make
sense to hunt one of these down used or to use the recommended replacement
cards? I'm thinking finding a used card might be more
economical.<br><br>In fact, if anyone has a 6608X blade available that they'd
like to trade I have a other blades available I could swap in a trade.
All I ask is that it works. If you're interested in a swap contact me
off list.<br><br>-Jeff <br><br><br><br><br></div>
