I will go ahead with PVDM2-16 for each branch router instead.
For 6608/VG248, I will use online IE voice rack when is available.
Hopefully the Voice tasks are not tightly integrated and not so dependency
on previous tasks like R&S or the earlier version of Security exams.
It is easier to pass an exam and less stressful which has less
integration between tasks. ;p
In the meantime, I am using Ciscopress lab book, IP Telephony Using
CallManager Express Lab Portfolio (very good lab book for newbie like
myself), while waiting for IE Voice labs and Video-on-Demand to
accelerate my understanding.
Go Brians Go~
