We currently have about 2000 phones running off two 7835 subscribers which are also the DHCP servers. The 7835 are old and must be replaced. We will be adding between 4000-5000 IP phones in the next 12-24 months for a total of about 6000. With softphone and mobility, that will go close to 7500 devices I project long term.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>The cluster is located in the headquarters within multiple computer rooms.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>What would be the recommended architecture for subscribers?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>- Currently looking at having 3 x 7845 for Subs<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>- 2 CCM Groups to have all phones split 50-50<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> CUCM Group1 CUCM Group2<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Sub A Sub B<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Sub B Sub A<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Sub C Sub C<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>What would be the recommended setup for DHCP service?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>- Currently looking at having Sub C be the primary DHCP Server and have one of the other Subs as backup DHCP Server<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>As per Cisco Sales Support, I need two Mobility servers as well.
