Currently at home I have a 1760 router, a 3550 switch a 5505 firewall, a Fortinet 60B, two Dell poweredge servers with ESXi, a DD-WRT router with QoS capabilities, and a dozen or so Cisco 7912 phones.
I'm going to be picking up a 2821 router and a POE 3560 switch in the next few days. I have access to loads of WIC cards, PVDM2's and a CUE-NM module. I also have all of the software (CallManager 9.1, Unity, UCCX, Presence, and MeetingPlace 8.6). Cisco doesnt offer a temporary license for UCCX or MeetingPlace. So I dont know if I'll be able to install it. Anybody have any idea's for that?
What else should I put on my wish list to buy? I dont have tons of money. So the newer routers and switches are out of the question. I know they expect you to have a 2900 router, a 3900 router, and a newer 4400-x switch. But realistically, what would you be able to do on those that you couldnt on a 2800 and 3560?
I do think I'll need to break down and buy a pair of video phones. I dont think there is a way around that.
