Ah yeah UC5xx I meant. I need to check out UCM 300/500's properly but I suspect I'll go with a 2900 Router with an ADSL WIC interface and the Voicemail module under the lid. It's pretty much a money bo object network so I can happily avoid anything low end pretty easily...

And The Webmaster is easily gonna pull the best Cisco wheelies... dammit :0 :d

Quoting myself now :blush:

Looked at UCM500. I'm confusing myself. 2900-K9 with CUCM is what I'm going to use unless there's a REALLY good reason not to. 1 L3 switch, 3 or 4 L2's all POE. 30 seats for the phones, 15 to 20 AP's with (probably) a 4400 or a 5500 (is it) WLC. Should be fun...

Oh how we laughed, does this lot work in Steves new shower. :d

Actually, some of the kit I deploy is IP56 compliant, so yes it would work in Steve's shower :laugh:

cool can i try it

Does ingress protection 65 cover direct spray and certain other natural chemical attack.

IP56 *should*. Not sure about 65 mostly 'cos I forget the order of the numbers and what they mean... Wikipedia here I come :0

Got a bit dislexic we used IP65 electrical stuff offshore when I was there. Don't profess to be of the electrical discipline in any way shape or form. Electrical Safety rules = 1000 ways of saying no.

You have cable management and a wide 1M cabinet for the rack with the 3945s. But the patching rack has no cable management and isnt wide enough to give vertical cable management. IMHO - you should add this now, as with future adds this will become a mess that will stop you closing the door. I would also use colours to differentiate services (eg Voice / Data - Trunk / Access etc)

OSPF / BGP with optimisation are the way to go now days. EIGRP for special Cisco only network use where you have a limited radius and want faster convergence with stability. IS-IS is mostly deprecated. Typically only seen in special environments such as Telco / Carrier legacy environments - telephony switch interconnects etc.

Your going to need some layer 3 to split the voice and data VLANs but this could be done on a router layer if no L3 switch is present.

ETA - Has the patch cables been made to length on site ? If so I would replace with moulded Cat 6 factory made as at best existing wont be Cat 6 and at worse they will be a constant source of issue for years to come.

The patching cabinet is fine, but you are right about it being bl**** narrow! Nout we could do about these as they were provided by the building owner. I actually removed all the cable management in order to allow the patch panels to be closer to the switches as the stack cables (that link the 3750s) are stretched to as far as is reasonable. If we were to get more switches in the stack, I'd re-patch (ideally blanket) and with nice colour coded cables, but this was never going to happen with the budget we had.

Whilst there are two vlans (Voice/Data) they are exclusive to that switch setup. Each switchport is given an access vlan and a voice vlan. Dot1Q can be interpreted by the phones and they filter the traffic. Hence you can get away with zero routing :)

I haven't done much with wireless either. I'd love to, but Financial institutions (PCI) tend to not get on with it

The only place I know of that used EIGRP was by New Look when I went for a job there. Otherwise, it's OSPF/BGP all the way. Personally, I wouldn't use EIGRP because it really does limit your options. I know you say faster convergence on a limited radius, but it's just not worth it. Let's be honest, how many times is your network going to re-converge?

Blatman - do you mean 2600 router? 2900s are switches!
