I am looking into setting up a lab for VoIP testing and practice for the
CCVP. I found what I think is a good deal on a 1720 with 32/16 memory and a
2610 with 64/16 memory. Can anyone out there tell me if this will suffice
for a small test environment? I am planning on getting some VICs as well for
practice on configuring those interfaces as well. I just want to make sure I
buy the right tool for the job. Also with all of this in mind would I be
better off with Call Manager Express to put on the routers (if they will
even run them) or would it be wise to just get the full thing. I guess what
would be best is just some suggestions from everyone out there who has labs
on what they are using and what works/worked well for them.



Thanks

If you can get a little VMWare server to run CM I think you would be
better off for the CCVP. CIPT test is very in depth into the CM
application. If you are just doing a test lab with a couple FXO ports
those routers should work fine I think. You will need IP Plus IOS and
DSP resources because neither come stock with them. Don't for get a
little switch and phones.
