Faq (CISCO2911/K9)
Can I must purchase the PVDM to get the voice function?
Yes. Cisco 2900 series need to installed PVDM and related license to get the voice function.
What is the SRST?
Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site TelephonySRST is a feature of Cisco IOS software that allows the IP phones at the remote site cannot contactthe central call manager can still supportbasic traffic handling capacity
FL-CME-SRST-25 does this 25 means this license only supports 25 IP Phones?
For an ISRG2 Cisco Routers HWIC Cards, are they limited by the respective number of supported HWIC slots or by the number of routed ports they will provide?
Yes, based on my research, a Cisco 2911 has four (4) HWIC slots, but it can only support two(2) HWIC-2FE or four(4) HWIC-SFP-CU. With HWIC-2FE, you can have a total of 7 Routed Ports, including the integrated routed ports of the Router and six (6) routed ports if you use four HWIC-SFP-CU.
Looking at CISCO 2900 series data sheet, there is a sentence under "Benifits" The Cisco 2900 Series enables deployment in high speed WAN environments with concurrent services enabled up to 75 Mbps What does this mean? The interface is 1Gbps, why 2900 is only enabled up 75 Mbps?
That means the router running services (IE Zone-based firewall, NAT, NBAR, etc) can maintain 75Mb of traffic throughput. If you don't want to run any services, the throughput is more than 100Mb so a gig interface is necessary.
I'm currently using a 2811 as our internet/BGP border router with receiving full routes, the current bandwidth is 15 meg and planning to upgrade to 30 meg. Will the current 2811 handle the bandwidth and the full BGP routes at the same time? I was thinking to ask our management to upgrade to at least a 2911 ISR G2 since the current router is old.
2911 should be able to handle 30 Mbps. The main problem is the full BGP routing table. And this can alleviated if you load up the router "up to the eyebalss" with DRAM. Personally, I'd prefer something chunkier, like 3925/3925E, for future proofing.
