CCNA Voice Lab Equipment

#01 ciscogeek

From the 640-460 IIUC syllabus, anyone have any thoughts/suggestions/recommendations on what gear you’d need for a home lab?

First, thank you for the relevant and direct questions in the last hour. It is very exciting to have a dedicated channel you!

If you are not able to attend classroom training via one of our many authorized training partners, I suggest that you self-study using the upcoming Cisco Press book supporting the “Implementing Cisco IOS Unified Communications” or IIUC exam written by Wendell Odum. The book will be available in the August timeframe.

As for practice labs, our learning partners have created hands-on labs using our validated designs. This is available by taking an authorized training class or renting lab time from a remote lab provider. You can search for these options on the “Learning Partner Locator” link from our CCNA Concentration Main Page (right navigation bar below the fold).

Finally, our practice questions from the classroom courseware are posted on CLN. Have a try:

I look forward to seeing your presence again.

Just using the listing in the Syllabus and my personal experience I don’t think you would need to get a ton of gear to get started.

A 2600 series XM router running a voice IOS , a 7900 series phone and a compatible FXO and FXS card should get you started with most of the voice basics. From there you can start exploring Dial Peers, dial plans and the different matching patterns. Adding a second router would let you work with VoIP dial peers using sip and H323. The hard part in putting this together is getting the DSP, NM and WIC combination right.

For the Unity express you would have to get a AIM-CUE. Make sure you get one that is supported in your router. There is a ton of material to cover that you really need to have access to a Unity Express to really get a good understanding of. Especially AutoAttendant configurations and troubleshooting between CUE and CME.

The UC500 is a self contained unit that has everything you need to get started. They are pretty new and used units are difficult to come by. The only advantage of useing this unit as opposed to getting a full CME is that it saves space and there is no worries about computing DSP’s and ports. Otherwise get an actual ISR router.

If you are buying new hardware the C2811-VSEC-CCME/K9 voice bundle is a good deal. The 2801 is less expensive but if you add in the additional DSP that comes with the 2811 you more than cover it. If you get it with an a 4 port fxo and 4 port fxs and an AIM-CUE once you are done studying it could be installed as a complete phone system in a small office of up to 36 stations. The CUE only comes with 12 licenses but can be upgraded to 50.

As for reading if you dont want to wait for the book coming out in August I highly recomend the Cisco IP communications Express book from CiscoPress. ISBN-13 978-1-58705-180-7 It was an excellent reference when I first got started last year.

I hope this helps.
