Ok... Kinda an off-subject question since it's really not part of the lab
yet.. has anyone here played with Voice over IP yet? I'm starting to play
with it, and I'm finding lots of interesting variations between different
sets of docs that Cisco has...
My biggest question comes from the books that come with a 2600 series
router. They refer to referencing your phone numbers as E.164 standards
(using the + sign to designate that). I can't find a real good definition
on E.164 other than it sometimes references phone number dialing plans, and
sometime apparantly has to do with ATM signalling (go figure). So what is
it???
Secondly, if you follow the configurations in those documents completely,
none of the configurations work. This irritated me for a while. Then in
digging through Cisco's web site, I found some configurations that did not
use this pesky little plus sign to represent the E.164 standard numbers.
Removing the plus sign made everything work. So does this mean that Cisco
really doesn't have a clue what E.164 is either? Or was the + before the
number thing just a bad idea that was abandoned in software far before it
was changed in print?
Ah well... In the end, I can still pass my call through multiple routers
before leaving my basement.. So I guess that qualifies me for something...
