<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">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... <a href="https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/voice-unified-communications/unified-communications-manager-callmanager/13994-ws-6608-t1e1-gtwy.html.">https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/voice-unified-communications/unified-communications-manager-callmanager/13994-ws-6608-t1e1-gtwy.html.</a>.. 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.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">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: <a href="https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/vg248/1_1/english/configuration/guide/sw_confg/vg248swc.html">https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/vg248/1_1/english/configuration/guide/sw_confg/vg248swc.html</a>). 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.<br></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Apr 3, 2019 at 11:58 PM Lelio Fulgenzi <<a href="mailto:lelio@uoguelph.ca">lelio@uoguelph.ca</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

I still like how the T1 PRIs on the 6608s could register to different clusters without a fuss.

VG248 was the best one ever made by Cisco. Not IOS based made the thing<br>
super stable and easy to configure/manage. Makes me sad when ever I think<br>
about it.<br>

Subject: [cisco-voip] vg310/320 or ISR4K with analog modules<br>
<br>
<br>
I see the VG350 has pretty much been EOL'd (February 29, 2024) in favour of<br>
ISR4K with high density voice service modules or a VG450 (which is ISR4K<br>
based).<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/unified-communications/vg-series-gateways/eos-eol-notice-c51-741597.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/unified-communications/vg-<br>
series-gateways/eos-eol-notice-c51-741597.html</a><br>
<br>
Anybody know if the VG310 and VG320 is going that path? It would be hard to<br>
assume so, since the VG400s are very low density and look like they're<br>
replacing the VG202/VG204.<br>
<br>
I can't imagine having to fork out for a ISR4K for 24 or 48 analog ports.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
