Chicago LAN

Our Chicago LAN is the central node of our Enterprise network.  We are using the following networking devices in this LAN:  

• Cisco 2811 Router

  • IOS = C2800NM-IPVOICE_IVS-M

    • Needed for VoIP Gatekeeper functionality

• Cisco Catalyst 2960 Switch

  • 24 100 Mbps ports / 2 Gb uplink ports

We chose to employ sub-interfaces on the serial links to facilitate the ease of adding future frame relay connections. 

• Adtran ACE TSU

  • Point to Point connection to New York

• Cisco 7940 IP Phone
