For CME ver 9 you need IOS 15.2(2)T, unfortunately 2800/3800 series routers latest IOS release is 15.1(4)M6 = CME 8.6

For CME 9 you need a 2900/3900 series router.

Hi Jorge Armijo,

Thank you for replying,

what about the other equipment's, can I use them for example can I use one Router 2900 for CME 9 and use the other 3 Routers 2800 at the PSTN and branches OR can I use two Routers 2900 one in HQ and the second for CME branch and the other two routers keep them 2800.

Actually I don't want to waste my currently lab, is there any way to preserve as much as possible my own lab.

Thanks

Abdu

Hi.

For some part of the lab you can use your 2800 for instance as PSTN router or gatekeeper.

Here is the list of Hardware and IOS version that you should expect at the lab location
