RE: Any experience with Grandstream VoIP equipment ?

We used AudioCodes at my last gig - the MP202B, specifically. They were decent, from what I remember. It's been several years since I've worked on them, so don't take this as an endorsement. I'm just adding another possible vendor name/product to the pool. -Original Message- From: John

What's the bubble-wrap for? Protection in case of bird collision? Looks like they borrowed from Qwest's repair manual. We have a lot of pedestals around the city that are covered in Hefty bags. Granted, we're in Phoenix, and there isn't much here that is prepared for rain since we don't get a l

Semi-automated L3 interface DNS records

2012-10-18 Thread Pedersen, Sean
Does anyone out there have any experience with a script, tool or appliance that would help manage the creation and maintenance of DNS records for Layer 3 interfaces on routers and switches? We'd like to move toward this practice to help with troubleshooting and IPAM, but it's not feasible to do

Network scan tool/appliance horror stories

2012-10-29 Thread Pedersen, Sean
We're evaluating several tools at the moment, and one vendor wants to dynamically scan our network to pick up hosts - SNMP, port-scans, WMI, the works. I was curious if anyone had any particularly gruesome horror stories of scanning tools run amok.

+1 Used them in a past life as a SIP ALG and NAT router for a “bring your own broadband” hosted SIP service. Worked well enough. You might get more suggestions if you provide a little bit more about what your requirements are, how they’re being deployed (one-off, ISP, etc.), or what the others

I started to look into them for personal and limited small business use, but stopped short when I realized their cloud management platform is subscription-based. Unless I've missed something, you cannot deploy your own internal management platform. It's all licensed through Meraki/Cisco, which

We used the EM 200 series at my last job. They behaved reasonably well, especially considering the nutty scenarios we deployed them in. If you're committed to Cisco, the 800 series is great as long as you don't intend to terminate TDM traffic and convert to SIP, transcode, or deploy any local
