Q&A - Dial Plans

Hi Ted,

We are in the process of rolling out call manager 6 cluster in Europe. Currently We have call manager 5 Cluster in NA.

1) Inherited the system. ( It has 4 digit dial plan which will be starting to overlap soon)

2) We have inter cluster trunk setup ( no gate keeper)

3) VOIP will be deployed in France, UK, Romania, Germany Sweden and more….
a) since these countries use different dial plans ( Dial different length of digits , Emergency services etc…
b) Possible integration into a Avaya and CME deployment)

What is the best dial plan for this situation?

Currently the Consultant has recommended 5 digit dial plan?

1) What about site codes? for each country or office location?

How do get out of this mess…. I scoured the net and found no real world examples. I have ready the SRND but I am still lost. I have searched the Cisco net forms also.

Many Thanks in advance.

Q&A: Gearing-up for the new CCNA

Question:

Hi,

I saw your site and I’m hoping you can help. I took the CCNA exam for the first time late last month and again last week. I feel that I understand everything well enough to have passed the previous exam, but I’m a little lost with the new emphasis on security, etc. I would like to get certified ASAP, but don’t know if there is anyone with updated material yet. Do you know of a good source of information on security that would be relevant for what Cisco is testing on?

Thanks

Matt
