CALL MANAGER EXPRESS NETWORK PLANNING

open original image

Hi all:

We are planning to install a little Call Manager Express solution based on a star topology:

- 1760 Router on central node.

- Cisco IP Telephone on central node.

- ATA-186 on remote node 1.

- ATA-186 on remote node 2.

We are worry about switches especifications. We want not to invest too much in switch if it´s not really necessesary...

• Do we need specific CISCO switches for the solution to work fine?
• Must switches comply with any specific protocol? 802.1p? 802.1q?
• Do we need to configure switches?

We have some experience with Call Manager solution based on similar topology and including CISCO switches (C2940-8TF-S on remote nodes and C3550-24-SMI on central node). System works fine and we didn´t need to config anything on the switches...

Thanks for your attention
